170.52 is what percent of 1232 - 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 1232 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 1232, so we can write it down as 100%=1232.
4. We know, that x% equals 170.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=170.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1232
2) x%=170.52
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%=1232/170.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 170.52 is what percent of 1232

100%/x%=1232/170.52
(100/x)*x=(1232/170.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2249589490969*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2249589490969) to get x
100/7.2249589490969=x
13.840909090909=x
x=13.840909090909

now we have:
170.52 is 13.840909090909% of 1232
