150.16 is what percent of 436 - 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 436 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 436, so we can write it down as 100%=436.
4. We know, that x% equals 150.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=150.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=436
2) x%=150.16
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%=436/150.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 150.16 is what percent of 436

100%/x%=436/150.16
(100/x)*x=(436/150.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9035695258391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9035695258391) to get x
100/2.9035695258391=x
34.440366972477=x
x=34.440366972477

now we have:
150.16 is 34.440366972477% of 436
