Answer:
35.76%
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.
