54 is what percent of 151? (with steps)

Answer: 35,7

Step-by-step explanation:

151 - 100%

54 - x

151x = 5400

x = 5400

151

x = 35,7

35.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

54:151*100 =

(54*100) : 151 =

5400:151 = 35.76

Step 1: We make the assumption that 151 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=151

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=54.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=151 (1)

x%=54 (2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x%=151/54

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x%/100%=54/151

x=35.76%

Therefore, 54 is 35.76% of 151.
