167.99 is what percent of 763.06 - 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 763.06 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 763.06, so we can write it down as 100%=763.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 167.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=167.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=763.06
2) x%=167.99
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%=763.06/167.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 167.99 is what percent of 763.06

100%/x%=763.06/167.99
(100/x)*x=(763.06/167.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5422941841776*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5422941841776) to get x
100/4.5422941841776=x
22.015306791078=x
x=22.015306791078

now we have:
167.99 is 22.015306791078% of 763.06
