0.2 is what percent of 195 - 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 195 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 195, so we can write it down as 100%=195.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=195
2) x%=0.2
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%=195/0.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.2 is what percent of 195

100%/x%=195/0.2
(100/x)*x=(195/0.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (975) to get x
100/975=x
0.1025641025641=x
x=0.1025641025641

now we have:
0.2 is 0.1025641025641% of 195
