166.6 is what percent of 1942.5 - 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 1942.5 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 1942.5, so we can write it down as 100%=1942.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 166.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=166.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1942.5
2) x%=166.6
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%=1942.5/166.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 166.6 is what percent of 1942.5

100%/x%=1942.5/166.6
(100/x)*x=(1942.5/166.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.659663865546*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.659663865546) to get x
100/11.659663865546=x
8.5765765765766=x
x=8.5765765765766

now we have:
166.6 is 8.5765765765766% of 1942.5
