162.13 is what percent of 3166 - 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 3166 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 3166, so we can write it down as 100%=3166.
4. We know, that x% equals 162.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=162.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3166
2) x%=162.13
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%=3166/162.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 162.13 is what percent of 3166

100%/x%=3166/162.13
(100/x)*x=(3166/162.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.527539628693*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.527539628693) to get x
100/19.527539628693=x
5.1209728363866=x
x=5.1209728363866

now we have:
162.13 is 5.1209728363866% of 3166
