168.54 is what percent of 1.47 - 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 1.47 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 1.47, so we can write it down as 100%=1.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 168.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=168.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.47
2) x%=168.54
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%=1.47/168.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 168.54 is what percent of 1.47

100%/x%=1.47/168.54
(100/x)*x=(1.47/168.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0087219651121396*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0087219651121396) to get x
100/0.0087219651121396=x
11465.306122449=x
x=11465.306122449

now we have:
168.54 is 11465.306122449% of 1.47
