155.25 is what percent of 195 - 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 195 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 195, so we can write it down as 100%=195.
4. We know, that x% equals 155.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=155.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=195
2) x%=155.25
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%=195/155.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 155.25 is what percent of 195

100%/x%=195/155.25
(100/x)*x=(195/155.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.256038647343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.256038647343) to get x
100/1.256038647343=x
79.615384615385=x
x=79.615384615385

now we have:
155.25 is 79.615384615385% of 195
