149.36 is what percent of 194 - 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 194 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 194, so we can write it down as 100%=194.
4. We know, that x% equals 149.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=149.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=194
2) x%=149.36
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%=194/149.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 149.36 is what percent of 194

100%/x%=194/149.36
(100/x)*x=(194/149.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.298875200857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.298875200857) to get x
100/1.298875200857=x
76.989690721649=x
x=76.989690721649

now we have:
149.36 is 76.989690721649% of 194
