155.04 is what percent of 229 - 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 229 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 229, so we can write it down as 100%=229.
4. We know, that x% equals 155.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=155.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=229
2) x%=155.04
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%=229/155.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 155.04 is what percent of 229

100%/x%=229/155.04
(100/x)*x=(229/155.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4770381836945*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4770381836945) to get x
100/1.4770381836945=x
67.703056768559=x
x=67.703056768559

now we have:
155.04 is 67.703056768559% of 229
