15 is what percent of 104446.06 - 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 104446.06 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 104446.06, so we can write it down as 100%=104446.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104446.06
2) x%=15
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%=104446.06/15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15 is what percent of 104446.06

100%/x%=104446.06/15
(100/x)*x=(104446.06/15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6963.0706666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6963.0706666667) to get x
100/6963.0706666667=x
0.014361479983065=x
x=0.014361479983065

now we have:
15 is 0.014361479983065% of 104446.06
