160.2 is what percent of 1640.09 - 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 1640.09 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 1640.09, so we can write it down as 100%=1640.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 160.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=160.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1640.09
2) x%=160.2
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%=1640.09/160.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 160.2 is what percent of 1640.09

100%/x%=1640.09/160.2
(100/x)*x=(1640.09/160.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.237765293383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.237765293383) to get x
100/10.237765293383=x
9.7677566475011=x
x=9.7677566475011

now we have:
160.2 is 9.7677566475011% of 1640.09
