168.75 is what percent of 2021.25 - 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 2021.25 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 2021.25, so we can write it down as 100%=2021.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 168.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=168.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2021.25
2) x%=168.75
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%=2021.25/168.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 168.75 is what percent of 2021.25

100%/x%=2021.25/168.75
(100/x)*x=(2021.25/168.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.977777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.977777777778) to get x
100/11.977777777778=x
8.3487940630798=x
x=8.3487940630798

now we have:
168.75 is 8.3487940630798% of 2021.25
