189.76 is what percent of 790.87 - 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 790.87 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 790.87, so we can write it down as 100%=790.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 189.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=189.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=790.87
2) x%=189.76
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%=790.87/189.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 189.76 is what percent of 790.87

100%/x%=790.87/189.76
(100/x)*x=(790.87/189.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1677381956155*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1677381956155) to get x
100/4.1677381956155=x
23.993829580083=x
x=23.993829580083

now we have:
