Answer:

81%

Explanation:

1. We assume, that 200 equals 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 200,so we can write it down as 100%=200

4. We know, that x% equals 162 of the output value, so we can write it down as x% =162

5. Now we have two simple equations

1) 100%=200

2) x%=162

where the left sides of both of them have the same units, and both of the right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=200/162

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. the solution for 162 is what percent of 200

100%/x%=200/162

(100/x)*x=(200/162)*x -we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.234567890123*x -we divide both sides of the equation by (1.234567890123) to get x

81%=x

x=81%

now we have:

162 is 81% of 200

hope this helps!

In order to find out what percentage of 200 162 is, we just need to divide 162 by 200.

To transform the decimal to a percentage, we just need to multiply it by 100.

0.81 * 100 = 81
