152.32 is what percent of 162.12 - 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 162.12 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 162.12, so we can write it down as 100%=162.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 152.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=152.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=162.12
2) x%=152.32
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%=162.12/152.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 152.32 is what percent of 162.12

100%/x%=162.12/152.32
(100/x)*x=(162.12/152.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0643382352941*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0643382352941) to get x
100/1.0643382352941=x
93.955094991364=x
x=93.955094991364

now we have:
