163.3 is what percent of 197 - 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 197 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 197, so we can write it down as 100%=197.
4. We know, that x% equals 163.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=163.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=197
2) x%=163.3
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%=197/163.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 163.3 is what percent of 197

100%/x%=197/163.3
(100/x)*x=(197/163.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2063686466626*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2063686466626) to get x
100/1.2063686466626=x
82.893401015228=x
x=82.893401015228

now we have:
163.3 is 82.893401015228% of 197
