174.89 is what percent of 283.2 - 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 283.2 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 283.2, so we can write it down as 100%=283.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 174.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=174.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=283.2
2) x%=174.89
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%=283.2/174.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 174.89 is what percent of 283.2

100%/x%=283.2/174.89
(100/x)*x=(283.2/174.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6193035622391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6193035622391) to get x
100/1.6193035622391=x
61.754943502825=x
x=61.754943502825

now we have:
174.89 is 61.754943502825% of 283.2
