What is 0.167 percent of 148.5 - 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 148.5 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 148.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 148.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.167% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.167%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 148.5=100%
2) x=0.167%
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:
148.5/x=100%/0.167%
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 0.167% of 148.5

148.5/x=100/0.167
(148.5/x)*x=(100/0.167)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
148.5=598.80239520958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (598.80239520958) to get x
148.5/598.80239520958=x
0.247995=x
x=0.247995

now we have:
0.167% of 148.5=0.247995
