10.23 is what percent of 164.99 - 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 164.99 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 164.99, so we can write it down as 100%=164.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=164.99
2) x%=10.23
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%=164.99/10.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.23 is what percent of 164.99

100%/x%=164.99/10.23
(100/x)*x=(164.99/10.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.128054740958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.128054740958) to get x
100/16.128054740958=x
6.2003757803503=x
x=6.2003757803503

now we have:
10.23 is 6.2003757803503% of 164.99
