164.45 is what percent of 814.76 - 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 814.76 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 814.76, so we can write it down as 100%=814.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 164.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=164.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=814.76
2) x%=164.45
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%=814.76/164.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 164.45 is what percent of 814.76

100%/x%=814.76/164.45
(100/x)*x=(814.76/164.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9544542414108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9544542414108) to get x
100/4.9544542414108=x
20.183857823163=x
x=20.183857823163

now we have:
164.45 is 20.183857823163% of 814.76
