36.03 is what percent of 168.08 - 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 168.08 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 168.08, so we can write it down as 100%=168.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 36.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168.08
2) x%=36.03
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%=168.08/36.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36.03 is what percent of 168.08

100%/x%=168.08/36.03
(100/x)*x=(168.08/36.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6650013877324*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6650013877324) to get x
100/4.6650013877324=x
21.436220847216=x
x=21.436220847216

now we have:
36.03 is 21.436220847216% of 168.08
