108.28 is what percent of 15 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 15 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 15, so we can write it down as 100%=15.
4. We know, that x% equals 108.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=108.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15
2) x%=108.28
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=15/108.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 108.28 is what percent of 15

100%/x%=15/108.28
(100/x)*x=(15/108.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.13852973771703*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.13852973771703) to get x
100/0.13852973771703=x
721.86666666667=x
x=721.86666666667

now we have:
108.28 is 721.86666666667% of 15
