115.5 is what percent of 192.2 - 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 192.2 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 192.2, so we can write it down as 100%=192.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 115.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=115.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=192.2
2) x%=115.5
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%=192.2/115.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 115.5 is what percent of 192.2

100%/x%=192.2/115.5
(100/x)*x=(192.2/115.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6640692640693*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6640692640693) to get x
100/1.6640692640693=x
60.093652445369=x
x=60.093652445369

now we have:
115.5 is 60.093652445369% of 192.2
