170.13 is what percent of 817.43 - 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 817.43 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 817.43, so we can write it down as 100%=817.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 170.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=170.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=817.43
2) x%=170.13
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%=817.43/170.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 170.13 is what percent of 817.43

100%/x%=817.43/170.13
(100/x)*x=(817.43/170.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8047375536355*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8047375536355) to get x
100/4.8047375536355=x
20.812791309348=x
x=20.812791309348

now we have:
170.13 is 20.812791309348% of 817.43
