195.75 is what percent of 291 - 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 291 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 291, so we can write it down as 100%=291.
4. We know, that x% equals 195.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=195.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=291
2) x%=195.75
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%=291/195.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 195.75 is what percent of 291

100%/x%=291/195.75
(100/x)*x=(291/195.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4865900383142*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4865900383142) to get x
100/1.4865900383142=x
67.268041237113=x
x=67.268041237113

now we have:
195.75 is 67.268041237113% of 291
