130.08 is what percent of 166.665 - 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 166.665 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 100% equals 166.665, so we can write it down as 100%=166.665.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=166.665
2) x%=130.08
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:
100%/x%=166.665/130.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.08 is what percent of 166.665

100%/x%=166.665/130.08
(100/x)*x=(166.665/130.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.28125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.28125) to get x
100/1.28125=x
78.048780487805=x
x=78.048780487805

now we have:
130.08 is 78.048780487805% of 166.665
