168.67 is what percent of 888.98 - 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 888.98 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 888.98, so we can write it down as 100%=888.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 168.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=168.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=888.98
2) x%=168.67
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%=888.98/168.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 168.67 is what percent of 888.98

100%/x%=888.98/168.67
(100/x)*x=(888.98/168.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2705282504298*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2705282504298) to get x
100/5.2705282504298=x
18.973430223402=x
x=18.973430223402

now we have:
