194.25 is what percent of 378 - 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 378 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 378, so we can write it down as 100%=378.
4. We know, that x% equals 194.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=194.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=378
2) x%=194.25
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%=378/194.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 194.25 is what percent of 378

100%/x%=378/194.25
(100/x)*x=(378/194.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9459459459459*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9459459459459) to get x
100/1.9459459459459=x
51.388888888889=x
x=51.388888888889

now we have:
194.25 is 51.388888888889% of 378
