188.2 is what percent of 191 - 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 191 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 191, so we can write it down as 100%=191.
4. We know, that x% equals 188.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=188.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=191
2) x%=188.2
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%=191/188.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 188.2 is what percent of 191

100%/x%=191/188.2
(100/x)*x=(191/188.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0148777895855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0148777895855) to get x
100/1.0148777895855=x
98.534031413613=x
x=98.534031413613

now we have:
188.2 is 98.534031413613% of 191
