185.93 is what percent of 265 - 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 265 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 265, so we can write it down as 100%=265.
4. We know, that x% equals 185.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=185.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=265
2) x%=185.93
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%=265/185.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 185.93 is what percent of 265

100%/x%=265/185.93
(100/x)*x=(265/185.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4252675738181*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4252675738181) to get x
100/1.4252675738181=x
70.162264150943=x
x=70.162264150943

now we have:
185.93 is 70.162264150943% of 265
