15.6 is what percent of 243 - 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 243 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 243, so we can write it down as 100%=243.
4. We know, that x% equals 15.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=243
2) x%=15.6
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%=243/15.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15.6 is what percent of 243

100%/x%=243/15.6
(100/x)*x=(243/15.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.576923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.576923076923) to get x
100/15.576923076923=x
6.4197530864198=x
x=6.4197530864198

now we have:
15.6 is 6.4197530864198% of 243
