167.76 is what percent of 932 - 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 932 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 932, so we can write it down as 100%=932.
4. We know, that x% equals 167.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=167.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=932
2) x%=167.76
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%=932/167.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 167.76 is what percent of 932

100%/x%=932/167.76
(100/x)*x=(932/167.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5555555555556) to get x
100/5.5555555555556=x
18=x
x=18

now we have:
167.76 is 18% of 932
