166.3 is what percent of 168 - 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 168 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 168, so we can write it down as 100%=168.
4. We know, that x% equals 166.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=166.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168
2) x%=166.3
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%=168/166.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 166.3 is what percent of 168

100%/x%=168/166.3
(100/x)*x=(168/166.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0102224894768*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0102224894768) to get x
100/1.0102224894768=x
98.988095238095=x
x=98.988095238095

now we have:
166.3 is 98.988095238095% of 168
