175.76 is what percent of 116 - 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 116 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 116, so we can write it down as 100%=116.
4. We know, that x% equals 175.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=175.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=116
2) x%=175.76
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%=116/175.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 175.76 is what percent of 116

100%/x%=116/175.76
(100/x)*x=(116/175.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.65999089667729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.65999089667729) to get x
100/0.65999089667729=x
151.51724137931=x
x=151.51724137931

now we have:
175.76 is 151.51724137931% of 116
