What is 89.88 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 89.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=89.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 168=100%
2) x=89.88%
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%/89.88%
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 89.88% of 168

168/x=100/89.88
(168/x)*x=(100/89.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
168=1.1125945705385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1125945705385) to get x
168/1.1125945705385=x
150.9984=x
x=150.9984

now we have:
89.88% of 168=150.9984
