What is 17.56 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 17.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=17.56%
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%/17.56%
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 17.56% of 168

168/x=100/17.56
(168/x)*x=(100/17.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=5.6947608200456*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6947608200456) to get x
168/5.6947608200456=x
29.5008=x
x=29.5008

now we have:
17.56% of 168=29.5008
