148.75 is what percent of 163 - 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 163 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 163, so we can write it down as 100%=163.
4. We know, that x% equals 148.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=148.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=163
2) x%=148.75
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%=163/148.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 148.75 is what percent of 163

100%/x%=163/148.75
(100/x)*x=(163/148.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0957983193277*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0957983193277) to get x
100/1.0957983193277=x
91.257668711656=x
x=91.257668711656

now we have:
148.75 is 91.257668711656% of 163
