166.62 is what percent of 750 - 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 750 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 750, so we can write it down as 100%=750.
4. We know, that x% equals 166.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=166.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=750
2) x%=166.62
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%=750/166.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 166.62 is what percent of 750

100%/x%=750/166.62
(100/x)*x=(750/166.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5012603528988*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5012603528988) to get x
100/4.5012603528988=x
22.216=x
x=22.216

now we have:
166.62 is 22.216% of 750
