99.95 is what percent of 169.99 - 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 169.99 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 169.99, so we can write it down as 100%=169.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 99.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=169.99
2) x%=99.95
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%=169.99/99.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99.95 is what percent of 169.99

100%/x%=169.99/99.95
(100/x)*x=(169.99/99.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7007503751876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7007503751876) to get x
100/1.7007503751876=x
58.797576328019=x
x=58.797576328019

now we have:
99.95 is 58.797576328019% of 169.99
