163.14 is what percent of 2160 - 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 2160 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 2160, so we can write it down as 100%=2160.
4. We know, that x% equals 163.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=163.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2160
2) x%=163.14
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%=2160/163.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 163.14 is what percent of 2160

100%/x%=2160/163.14
(100/x)*x=(2160/163.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.2401618242*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.2401618242) to get x
100/13.2401618242=x
7.5527777777778=x
x=7.5527777777778

now we have:
163.14 is 7.5527777777778% of 2160
