163.24 is what percent of 169.32 - 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 169.32 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 169.32, so we can write it down as 100%=169.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 163.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=163.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=169.32
2) x%=163.24
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%=169.32/163.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 163.24 is what percent of 169.32

100%/x%=169.32/163.24
(100/x)*x=(169.32/163.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0372457730948*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0372457730948) to get x
100/1.0372457730948=x
96.409166076069=x
x=96.409166076069

now we have:
163.24 is 96.409166076069% of 169.32
