147.37 is what percent of 168 - 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 168 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 168, so we can write it down as 100%=168.
4. We know, that x% equals 147.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=147.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168
2) x%=147.37
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%=168/147.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 147.37 is what percent of 168

100%/x%=168/147.37
(100/x)*x=(168/147.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1399877858452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1399877858452) to get x
100/1.1399877858452=x
87.720238095238=x
x=87.720238095238

now we have:
147.37 is 87.720238095238% of 168
