184.7 is what percent of 336 - 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 336 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 336, so we can write it down as 100%=336.
4. We know, that x% equals 184.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=184.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=336
2) x%=184.7
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%=336/184.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 184.7 is what percent of 336

100%/x%=336/184.7
(100/x)*x=(336/184.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8191662154846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8191662154846) to get x
100/1.8191662154846=x
54.970238095238=x
x=54.970238095238

now we have:
184.7 is 54.970238095238% of 336
