17.67 is what percent of 143.42 - 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 143.42 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 143.42, so we can write it down as 100%=143.42.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.42
2) x%=17.67
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%=143.42/17.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.67 is what percent of 143.42

100%/x%=143.42/17.67
(100/x)*x=(143.42/17.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1165817770232*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1165817770232) to get x
100/8.1165817770232=x
12.320457397852=x
x=12.320457397852

now we have:
17.67 is 12.320457397852% of 143.42
