What is 36.96 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 36.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=36.96%
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%/36.96%
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 36.96% of 168

168/x=100/36.96
(168/x)*x=(100/36.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=2.7056277056277*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7056277056277) to get x
168/2.7056277056277=x
62.0928=x
x=62.0928

now we have:
36.96% of 168=62.0928
