107.97 is what percent of 179.64 - 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 179.64 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 179.64, so we can write it down as 100%=179.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 107.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=107.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=179.64
2) x%=107.97
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%=179.64/107.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 107.97 is what percent of 179.64

100%/x%=179.64/107.97
(100/x)*x=(179.64/107.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6637954987497*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6637954987497) to get x
100/1.6637954987497=x
60.103540414162=x
x=60.103540414162

now we have:
107.97 is 60.103540414162% of 179.64
