75.6 is what percent of 163 - 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 163 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 163, so we can write it down as 100%=163.
4. We know, that x% equals 75.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=163
2) x%=75.6
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%=163/75.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75.6 is what percent of 163

100%/x%=163/75.6
(100/x)*x=(163/75.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1560846560847*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1560846560847) to get x
100/2.1560846560847=x
46.38036809816=x
x=46.38036809816

now we have:
75.6 is 46.38036809816% of 163
