176.33 is what percent of 225 - 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 225 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 225, so we can write it down as 100%=225.
4. We know, that x% equals 176.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=176.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=225
2) x%=176.33
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%=225/176.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 176.33 is what percent of 225

100%/x%=225/176.33
(100/x)*x=(225/176.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2760165598594*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2760165598594) to get x
100/1.2760165598594=x
78.368888888889=x
x=78.368888888889

now we have:
176.33 is 78.368888888889% of 225
