195.4 is what percent of 1704.2 - 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 1704.2 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 1704.2, so we can write it down as 100%=1704.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 195.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=195.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1704.2
2) x%=195.4
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%=1704.2/195.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 195.4 is what percent of 1704.2

100%/x%=1704.2/195.4
(100/x)*x=(1704.2/195.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.7215967246673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.7215967246673) to get x
100/8.7215967246673=x
11.465790400188=x
x=11.465790400188

now we have:
195.4 is 11.465790400188% of 1704.2
