118.37 is what percent of 202 - 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 202 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 202, so we can write it down as 100%=202.
4. We know, that x% equals 118.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=118.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=202
2) x%=118.37
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%=202/118.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 118.37 is what percent of 202

100%/x%=202/118.37
(100/x)*x=(202/118.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.706513474698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.706513474698) to get x
100/1.706513474698=x
58.59900990099=x
x=58.59900990099

now we have:
118.37 is 58.59900990099% of 202
