What is 155 percent of 107 - 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 107 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 107 is 100%, so we can write it down as 107=100%.
4. We know, that x is 155% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=155%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 107=100%
2) x=155%
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:
107/x=100%/155%
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 155% of 107

107/x=100/155
(107/x)*x=(100/155)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
107=0.64516129032258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.64516129032258) to get x
107/0.64516129032258=x
165.85=x
x=165.85

now we have:
155% of 107=165.85
