169.39 is what percent of 940.5 - 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 940.5 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 940.5, so we can write it down as 100%=940.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 169.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=169.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=940.5
2) x%=169.39
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%=940.5/169.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 169.39 is what percent of 940.5

100%/x%=940.5/169.39
(100/x)*x=(940.5/169.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5522758132121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5522758132121) to get x
100/5.5522758132121=x
18.010632642212=x
x=18.010632642212

now we have:
169.39 is 18.010632642212% of 940.5
