180.43 is what percent of 230.325 - 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 230.325 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 230.325, so we can write it down as 100%=230.325.
4. We know, that x% equals 180.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=180.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=230.325
2) x%=180.43
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%=230.325/180.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 180.43 is what percent of 230.325

100%/x%=230.325/180.43
(100/x)*x=(230.325/180.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2765338358366*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2765338358366) to get x
100/1.2765338358366=x
78.337132313036=x
x=78.337132313036

now we have:
180.43 is 78.337132313036% of 230.325
