194.95 is what percent of 739 - 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 739 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 739, so we can write it down as 100%=739.
4. We know, that x% equals 194.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=194.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=739
2) x%=194.95
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%=739/194.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 194.95 is what percent of 739

100%/x%=739/194.95
(100/x)*x=(739/194.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7907155680944*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7907155680944) to get x
100/3.7907155680944=x
26.380243572395=x
x=26.380243572395

now we have:
194.95 is 26.380243572395% of 739
