1630 is what percent of 159804 - 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 159804 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 159804, so we can write it down as 100%=159804.
4. We know, that x% equals 1630 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1630.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=159804
2) x%=1630
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%=159804/1630
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1630 is what percent of 159804

100%/x%=159804/1630
(100/x)*x=(159804/1630)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=98.039263803681*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (98.039263803681) to get x
100/98.039263803681=x
1.0199994993867=x
x=1.0199994993867

now we have:
