618.13 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 618.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=618.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168
2) x%=618.13
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%=168/618.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 618.13 is what percent of 168

100%/x%=168/618.13
(100/x)*x=(168/618.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.27178748806885*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27178748806885) to get x
100/0.27178748806885=x
367.93452380952=x
x=367.93452380952

now we have:
618.13 is 367.93452380952% of 168
