Answer:
35.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 152 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 152, so we can write it down as 100%=152.
4. We know, that x% equals 54.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=54.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=152
2) x%=54.3
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%=152/54.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 54.3 is what percent of 152
100%/x%=152/54.3
(100/x)*x=(152/54.3)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7992633517495*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7992633517495) to get x
100/2.7992633517495=x
35.723684210526=x
x=35.723684210526
now we have:
54.3 is 35.723684210526% of 152
