113.2 is what percent of 188.9 - 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 188.9 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 188.9, so we can write it down as 100%=188.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=188.9
2) x%=113.2
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%=188.9/113.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.2 is what percent of 188.9

100%/x%=188.9/113.2
(100/x)*x=(188.9/113.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6687279151943*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6687279151943) to get x
100/1.6687279151943=x
59.925886712546=x
x=59.925886712546

now we have:
113.2 is 59.925886712546% of 188.9
