Question

What percent of 61 is 152.5?

Answer 1

100%/x%=61/152.5
(100/x)*x=(61/152.5)*x <-- - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.4*x  <-----we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4) to get x
100/0.4=x 
250=x 
x=250

250%=final answer

Answer 2

152.5/x=100/61
(152.5/x)*x=(100/61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
152.5=1.6393442623*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6393442623) to get x
152.5/1.6393442623=x 
93.025=x 
x=93.025

now we have: 
61% of 152.5=93.025
