214.3 is what percent of 165.6 - 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 165.6 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 165.6, so we can write it down as 100%=165.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 214.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=214.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=165.6
2) x%=214.3
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%=165.6/214.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 214.3 is what percent of 165.6

100%/x%=165.6/214.3
(100/x)*x=(165.6/214.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.77274848343444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.77274848343444) to get x
100/0.77274848343444=x
129.40821256039=x
x=129.40821256039

now we have:
214.3 is 129.40821256039% of 165.6
