188.85 is what percent of 235 - 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 235 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 235, so we can write it down as 100%=235.
4. We know, that x% equals 188.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=188.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=235
2) x%=188.85
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%=235/188.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 188.85 is what percent of 235

100%/x%=235/188.85
(100/x)*x=(235/188.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2443738416733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2443738416733) to get x
100/1.2443738416733=x
80.36170212766=x
x=80.36170212766

now we have:
188.85 is 80.36170212766% of 235
