9.25 is what percent of 167.25 - 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 167.25 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 167.25, so we can write it down as 100%=167.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=167.25
2) x%=9.25
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%=167.25/9.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.25 is what percent of 167.25

100%/x%=167.25/9.25
(100/x)*x=(167.25/9.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.081081081081*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.081081081081) to get x
100/18.081081081081=x
5.5306427503737=x
x=5.5306427503737

now we have:
9.25 is 5.5306427503737% of 167.25
