What is 91.75 percent of 150.5 - 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 150.5 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 150.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 91.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=91.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150.5=100%
2) x=91.75%
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:
150.5/x=100%/91.75%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 91.75% of 150.5

150.5/x=100/91.75
(150.5/x)*x=(100/91.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150.5=1.0899182561308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0899182561308) to get x
150.5/1.0899182561308=x
138.08375=x
x=138.08375

now we have:
91.75% of 150.5=138.08375
