1.65 is what percent of 86.95 - 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 86.95 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 86.95, so we can write it down as 100%=86.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=86.95
2) x%=1.65
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%=86.95/1.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.65 is what percent of 86.95

100%/x%=86.95/1.65
(100/x)*x=(86.95/1.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=52.69696969697*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52.69696969697) to get x
100/52.69696969697=x
1.8976423231742=x
x=1.8976423231742

now we have:
1.65 is 1.8976423231742% of 86.95
