What is 8.929 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 8.929% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.929%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=8.929%
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%/8.929%
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 8.929% of 168

168/x=100/8.929
(168/x)*x=(100/8.929)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=11.199462425804*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.199462425804) to get x
168/11.199462425804=x
15.00072=x
x=15.00072

now we have:
8.929% of 168=15.00072
