What is 103.5 percent of 168 - 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 168 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 168 is 100%, so we can write it down as 168=100%.
4. We know, that x is 103.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=103.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=103.5%
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:
168/x=100%/103.5%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 103.5% of 168

168/x=100/103.5
(168/x)*x=(100/103.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=0.96618357487923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.96618357487923) to get x
168/0.96618357487923=x
173.88=x
x=173.88

now we have:
103.5% of 168=173.88
