153.25 is what percent of 579.78 - 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 579.78 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 579.78, so we can write it down as 100%=579.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=579.78
2) x%=153.25
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%=579.78/153.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.25 is what percent of 579.78

100%/x%=579.78/153.25
(100/x)*x=(579.78/153.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7832300163132*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7832300163132) to get x
100/3.7832300163132=x
26.432439890993=x
x=26.432439890993

now we have:
153.25 is 26.432439890993% of 579.78
