What is 160 percent of 43.73 - 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 43.73 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 43.73 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43.73=100%.
4. We know, that x is 160% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=160%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43.73=100%
2) x=160%
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:
43.73/x=100%/160%
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 160% of 43.73

43.73/x=100/160
(43.73/x)*x=(100/160)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43.73=0.625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.625) to get x
43.73/0.625=x
69.968=x
x=69.968

now we have:
160% of 43.73=69.968
