94.5 is what percent of 176 - 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 176 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 176, so we can write it down as 100%=176.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=176
2) x%=94.5
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%=176/94.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.5 is what percent of 176

100%/x%=176/94.5
(100/x)*x=(176/94.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8624338624339*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8624338624339) to get x
100/1.8624338624339=x
53.693181818182=x
x=53.693181818182

now we have:
94.5 is 53.693181818182% of 176
