What is 157.75 percent of 216 - 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 216 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 216 is 100%, so we can write it down as 216=100%.
4. We know, that x is 157.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=157.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 216=100%
2) x=157.75%
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:
216/x=100%/157.75%
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 157.75% of 216

216/x=100/157.75
(216/x)*x=(100/157.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
216=0.63391442155309*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.63391442155309) to get x
216/0.63391442155309=x
340.74=x
x=340.74

now we have:
157.75% of 216=340.74
