134.7 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 134.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=134.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=134.7
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%=1500/134.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 134.7 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/134.7
(100/x)*x=(1500/134.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.135857461025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.135857461025) to get x
100/11.135857461025=x
8.98=x
x=8.98

now we have:
134.7 is 8.98% of 1500
