164.34 is what percent of 760 - 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 760 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 760, so we can write it down as 100%=760.
4. We know, that x% equals 164.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=164.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=760
2) x%=164.34
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%=760/164.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 164.34 is what percent of 760

100%/x%=760/164.34
(100/x)*x=(760/164.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6245588414263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6245588414263) to get x
100/4.6245588414263=x
21.623684210526=x
x=21.623684210526

now we have:
164.34 is 21.623684210526% of 760
