Answer:332

Step-by-step explanation:Solution for 161 is what percent of 200:

161:200*100 =

(161*100):200 =

16100:200 = 80.5

Now we have: 161 is what percent of 200 = 80.5

Question: 161 is what percent of 200?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 200 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=200$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=161$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=200(1)$.

$x\%=161(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{200}{161}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{161}{200}$

$\Rightarrow x=80.5\%$

Therefore, $161$ is $80.5\%$ of $200$.
