169.36 is what percent of 273 - 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 273 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 273, so we can write it down as 100%=273.
4. We know, that x% equals 169.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=169.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=273
2) x%=169.36
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%=273/169.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 169.36 is what percent of 273

100%/x%=273/169.36
(100/x)*x=(273/169.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6119508738781*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6119508738781) to get x
100/1.6119508738781=x
62.03663003663=x
x=62.03663003663

now we have:
169.36 is 62.03663003663% of 273
