191.43 is what percent of 230 - 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 230 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 230, so we can write it down as 100%=230.
4. We know, that x% equals 191.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=191.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=230
2) x%=191.43
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%=230/191.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 191.43 is what percent of 230

100%/x%=230/191.43
(100/x)*x=(230/191.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2014835710181*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2014835710181) to get x
100/1.2014835710181=x
83.230434782609=x
x=83.230434782609

now we have:
191.43 is 83.230434782609% of 230
