195.7 is what percent of 225 - 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 225 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 225, so we can write it down as 100%=225.
4. We know, that x% equals 195.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=195.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=225
2) x%=195.7
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%=225/195.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 195.7 is what percent of 225

100%/x%=225/195.7
(100/x)*x=(225/195.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1497189575881*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1497189575881) to get x
100/1.1497189575881=x
86.977777777778=x
x=86.977777777778

now we have:
195.7 is 86.977777777778% of 225
