10.55 is what percent of 160.55 - 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 160.55 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 160.55, so we can write it down as 100%=160.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=160.55
2) x%=10.55
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%=160.55/10.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.55 is what percent of 160.55

100%/x%=160.55/10.55
(100/x)*x=(160.55/10.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.218009478673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.218009478673) to get x
100/15.218009478673=x
6.5711616318904=x
x=6.5711616318904

now we have:
10.55 is 6.5711616318904% of 160.55
