188.68 is what percent of 2472 - 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 2472 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 2472, so we can write it down as 100%=2472.
4. We know, that x% equals 188.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=188.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2472
2) x%=188.68
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%=2472/188.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 188.68 is what percent of 2472

100%/x%=2472/188.68
(100/x)*x=(2472/188.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.10154759381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.10154759381) to get x
100/13.10154759381=x
7.6326860841424=x
x=7.6326860841424

now we have:
188.68 is 7.6326860841424% of 2472
