92.2 is what percent of 158 - 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 158 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 158, so we can write it down as 100%=158.
4. We know, that x% equals 92.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=158
2) x%=92.2
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%=158/92.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92.2 is what percent of 158

100%/x%=158/92.2
(100/x)*x=(158/92.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7136659436009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7136659436009) to get x
100/1.7136659436009=x
58.354430379747=x
x=58.354430379747

now we have:
92.2 is 58.354430379747% of 158
