191.41 is what percent of 240.21 - 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 240.21 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 240.21, so we can write it down as 100%=240.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 191.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=191.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=240.21
2) x%=191.41
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%=240.21/191.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 191.41 is what percent of 240.21

100%/x%=240.21/191.41
(100/x)*x=(240.21/191.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2549501070999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2549501070999) to get x
100/1.2549501070999=x
79.684442779235=x
x=79.684442779235

now we have:
191.41 is 79.684442779235% of 240.21
