165.67 is what percent of 723 - 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 723 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 723, so we can write it down as 100%=723.
4. We know, that x% equals 165.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=165.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=723
2) x%=165.67
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%=723/165.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 165.67 is what percent of 723

100%/x%=723/165.67
(100/x)*x=(723/165.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3640973018652*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3640973018652) to get x
100/4.3640973018652=x
22.914246196404=x
x=22.914246196404

now we have:
165.67 is 22.914246196404% of 723
