169.05 is what percent of 199 - 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 199 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 199, so we can write it down as 100%=199.
4. We know, that x% equals 169.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=169.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=199
2) x%=169.05
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%=199/169.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 169.05 is what percent of 199

100%/x%=199/169.05
(100/x)*x=(199/169.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1771665187814*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1771665187814) to get x
100/1.1771665187814=x
84.949748743719=x
x=84.949748743719

now we have:
169.05 is 84.949748743719% of 199
