What is 93.3 percent of 179 - 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 179 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 179 is 100%, so we can write it down as 179=100%.
4. We know, that x is 93.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=93.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 179=100%
2) x=93.3%
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:
179/x=100%/93.3%
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 93.3% of 179

179/x=100/93.3
(179/x)*x=(100/93.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
179=1.0718113612004*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0718113612004) to get x
179/1.0718113612004=x
167.007=x
x=167.007

now we have:
93.3% of 179=167.007
