182.9 is what percent of 168 - 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 168 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 168, so we can write it down as 100%=168.
4. We know, that x% equals 182.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=182.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168
2) x%=182.9
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%=168/182.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 182.9 is what percent of 168

100%/x%=168/182.9
(100/x)*x=(168/182.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91853471842537*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91853471842537) to get x
100/0.91853471842537=x
108.86904761905=x
x=108.86904761905

now we have:
182.9 is 108.86904761905% of 168
