169.44 is what percent of 597.19 - 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 597.19 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 597.19, so we can write it down as 100%=597.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 169.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=169.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=597.19
2) x%=169.44
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%=597.19/169.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 169.44 is what percent of 597.19

100%/x%=597.19/169.44
(100/x)*x=(597.19/169.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5244924457035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5244924457035) to get x
100/3.5244924457035=x
28.372879653042=x
x=28.372879653042

now we have:
