194.78 is what percent of 11800 - 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 11800 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 11800, so we can write it down as 100%=11800.
4. We know, that x% equals 194.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=194.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11800
2) x%=194.78
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%=11800/194.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 194.78 is what percent of 11800

100%/x%=11800/194.78
(100/x)*x=(11800/194.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=60.581168497792*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.581168497792) to get x
100/60.581168497792=x
1.6506779661017=x
x=1.6506779661017

now we have:
194.78 is 1.6506779661017% of 11800
