177.15 is what percent of 416.66 - 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 416.66 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 416.66, so we can write it down as 100%=416.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 177.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=177.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=416.66
2) x%=177.15
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%=416.66/177.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 177.15 is what percent of 416.66

100%/x%=416.66/177.15
(100/x)*x=(416.66/177.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3520180637878*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3520180637878) to get x
100/2.3520180637878=x
42.516680266884=x
x=42.516680266884

now we have:
177.15 is 42.516680266884% of 416.66
