What is 28.43 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 28.43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=28.43%
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%/28.43%
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 28.43% of 168

168/x=100/28.43
(168/x)*x=(100/28.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=3.5174111853676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5174111853676) to get x
168/3.5174111853676=x
47.7624=x
x=47.7624

now we have:
28.43% of 168=47.7624
