What is 162.2 percent of 180 - 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 180 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 180 is 100%, so we can write it down as 180=100%.
4. We know, that x is 162.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=162.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 180=100%
2) x=162.2%
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:
180/x=100%/162.2%
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 162.2% of 180

180/x=100/162.2
(180/x)*x=(100/162.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
180=0.61652281134402*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.61652281134402) to get x
180/0.61652281134402=x
291.96=x
x=291.96

now we have:
162.2% of 180=291.96
