185.99 is what percent of 111.95 - 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 111.95 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 111.95, so we can write it down as 100%=111.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 185.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=185.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=111.95
2) x%=185.99
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%=111.95/185.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 185.99 is what percent of 111.95

100%/x%=111.95/185.99
(100/x)*x=(111.95/185.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.60191408140223*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.60191408140223) to get x
100/0.60191408140223=x
166.13666815543=x
x=166.13666815543

now we have:
