176.65 is what percent of 297.32 - 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 297.32 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 297.32, so we can write it down as 100%=297.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 176.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=176.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=297.32
2) x%=176.65
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%=297.32/176.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 176.65 is what percent of 297.32

100%/x%=297.32/176.65
(100/x)*x=(297.32/176.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6831021794509*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6831021794509) to get x
100/1.6831021794509=x
59.414099286964=x
x=59.414099286964

now we have:
