23.9 is what percent of 176.1 - 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 176.1 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 176.1, so we can write it down as 100%=176.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=176.1
2) x%=23.9
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%=176.1/23.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.9 is what percent of 176.1

100%/x%=176.1/23.9
(100/x)*x=(176.1/23.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.3682008368201*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.3682008368201) to get x
100/7.3682008368201=x
13.571834185122=x
x=13.571834185122

now we have:
23.9 is 13.571834185122% of 176.1
