119.3 is what percent of 835.2 - 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 835.2 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 835.2, so we can write it down as 100%=835.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 119.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=119.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=835.2
2) x%=119.3
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%=835.2/119.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 119.3 is what percent of 835.2

100%/x%=835.2/119.3
(100/x)*x=(835.2/119.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.0008382229673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0008382229673) to get x
100/7.0008382229673=x
14.284003831418=x
x=14.284003831418

now we have:
119.3 is 14.284003831418% of 835.2
