194.06 is what percent of 3130 - 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 3130 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 3130, so we can write it down as 100%=3130.
4. We know, that x% equals 194.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=194.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3130
2) x%=194.06
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%=3130/194.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 194.06 is what percent of 3130

100%/x%=3130/194.06
(100/x)*x=(3130/194.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.129032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.129032258065) to get x
100/16.129032258065=x
6.2=x
x=6.2

now we have:
194.06 is 6.2% of 3130
