166.25 is what percent of 388 - 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 388 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 388, so we can write it down as 100%=388.
4. We know, that x% equals 166.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=166.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=388
2) x%=166.25
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%=388/166.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 166.25 is what percent of 388

100%/x%=388/166.25
(100/x)*x=(388/166.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3338345864662*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3338345864662) to get x
100/2.3338345864662=x
42.84793814433=x
x=42.84793814433

now we have:
166.25 is 42.84793814433% of 388
