160.5 is what percent of 2135.35 - 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 2135.35 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 2135.35, so we can write it down as 100%=2135.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 160.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=160.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2135.35
2) x%=160.5
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%=2135.35/160.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 160.5 is what percent of 2135.35

100%/x%=2135.35/160.5
(100/x)*x=(2135.35/160.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.304361370717*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.304361370717) to get x
100/13.304361370717=x
7.5163322172009=x
x=7.5163322172009

now we have:
160.5 is 7.5163322172009% of 2135.35
