170.18 is what percent of 168 - 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 168 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 168, so we can write it down as 100%=168.
4. We know, that x% equals 170.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=170.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168
2) x%=170.18
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%=168/170.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 170.18 is what percent of 168

100%/x%=168/170.18
(100/x)*x=(168/170.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98719003408156*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98719003408156) to get x
100/0.98719003408156=x
101.29761904762=x
x=101.29761904762

now we have:
170.18 is 101.29761904762% of 168
