151.84 is what percent of 225 - 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 225 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 225, so we can write it down as 100%=225.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=225
2) x%=151.84
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%=225/151.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.84 is what percent of 225

100%/x%=225/151.84
(100/x)*x=(225/151.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.481822971549*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.481822971549) to get x
100/1.481822971549=x
67.484444444444=x
x=67.484444444444

now we have:
151.84 is 67.484444444444% of 225
