171.2 is what percent of 155520 - 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 155520 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 155520, so we can write it down as 100%=155520.
4. We know, that x% equals 171.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=171.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=155520
2) x%=171.2
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%=155520/171.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 171.2 is what percent of 155520

100%/x%=155520/171.2
(100/x)*x=(155520/171.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=908.41121495327*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (908.41121495327) to get x
100/908.41121495327=x
0.11008230452675=x
x=0.11008230452675

now we have:
171.2 is 0.11008230452675% of 155520
