153.46 is what percent of 500 - 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 500 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 500, so we can write it down as 100%=500.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=500
2) x%=153.46
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%=500/153.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.46 is what percent of 500

100%/x%=500/153.46
(100/x)*x=(500/153.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2581780268474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2581780268474) to get x
100/3.2581780268474=x
30.692=x
x=30.692

now we have:
153.46 is 30.692% of 500
