168.45 is what percent of 161.16 - 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 161.16 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 161.16, so we can write it down as 100%=161.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 168.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=168.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=161.16
2) x%=168.45
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%=161.16/168.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 168.45 is what percent of 161.16

100%/x%=161.16/168.45
(100/x)*x=(161.16/168.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.95672306322351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.95672306322351) to get x
100/0.95672306322351=x
104.5234549516=x
x=104.5234549516

now we have:
168.45 is 104.5234549516% of 161.16
