179.19 is what percent of 292.84 - 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 292.84 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 292.84, so we can write it down as 100%=292.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 179.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=179.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=292.84
2) x%=179.19
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%=292.84/179.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 179.19 is what percent of 292.84

100%/x%=292.84/179.19
(100/x)*x=(292.84/179.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6342429823093*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6342429823093) to get x
100/1.6342429823093=x
61.190411146018=x
x=61.190411146018

now we have:
