163.43 is what percent of 938.09 - 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 938.09 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 938.09, so we can write it down as 100%=938.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 163.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=163.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=938.09
2) x%=163.43
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%=938.09/163.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 163.43 is what percent of 938.09

100%/x%=938.09/163.43
(100/x)*x=(938.09/163.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7400110138897*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7400110138897) to get x
100/5.7400110138897=x
17.421569359017=x
x=17.421569359017

now we have:
163.43 is 17.421569359017% of 938.09
