10.79 is what percent of 164.1 - 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 164.1 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 164.1, so we can write it down as 100%=164.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=164.1
2) x%=10.79
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%=164.1/10.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.79 is what percent of 164.1

100%/x%=164.1/10.79
(100/x)*x=(164.1/10.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.208526413346*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.208526413346) to get x
100/15.208526413346=x
6.5752589884217=x
x=6.5752589884217

now we have:
10.79 is 6.5752589884217% of 164.1
