What is 60.7 percent of 158.8 - 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 158.8 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 158.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 158.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 60.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=60.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 158.8=100%
2) x=60.7%
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:
158.8/x=100%/60.7%
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 60.7% of 158.8

158.8/x=100/60.7
(158.8/x)*x=(100/60.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
158.8=1.64744645799*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.64744645799) to get x
158.8/1.64744645799=x
96.3916=x
x=96.3916

now we have:
60.7% of 158.8=96.3916
