122.05 is what percent of 161.95 - 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 161.95 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 161.95, so we can write it down as 100%=161.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 122.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=122.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=161.95
2) x%=122.05
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%=161.95/122.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 122.05 is what percent of 161.95

100%/x%=161.95/122.05
(100/x)*x=(161.95/122.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3269151986891*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3269151986891) to get x
100/1.3269151986891=x
75.362766285891=x
x=75.362766285891

now we have:
