12.6 is what percent of 193.8 - 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 193.8 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 193.8, so we can write it down as 100%=193.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=193.8
2) x%=12.6
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%=193.8/12.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.6 is what percent of 193.8

100%/x%=193.8/12.6
(100/x)*x=(193.8/12.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.380952380952*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.380952380952) to get x
100/15.380952380952=x
6.5015479876161=x
x=6.5015479876161

now we have:
12.6 is 6.5015479876161% of 193.8
