What is 87.51 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 87.51% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=87.51%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=87.51%
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%/87.51%
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 87.51% of 168

168/x=100/87.51
(168/x)*x=(100/87.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=1.1427265455377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1427265455377) to get x
168/1.1427265455377=x
147.0168=x
x=147.0168

now we have:
87.51% of 168=147.0168
