168.53 is what percent of 283.2 - 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 283.2 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 283.2, so we can write it down as 100%=283.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 168.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=168.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=283.2
2) x%=168.53
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%=283.2/168.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 168.53 is what percent of 283.2

100%/x%=283.2/168.53
(100/x)*x=(283.2/168.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6804129828517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6804129828517) to get x
100/1.6804129828517=x
59.50918079096=x
x=59.50918079096

now we have:
168.53 is 59.50918079096% of 283.2
