195.85 is what percent of 889 - 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 889 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 889, so we can write it down as 100%=889.
4. We know, that x% equals 195.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=195.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=889
2) x%=195.85
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%=889/195.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 195.85 is what percent of 889

100%/x%=889/195.85
(100/x)*x=(889/195.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5391881541996*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5391881541996) to get x
100/4.5391881541996=x
22.0303712036=x
x=22.0303712036

now we have:
195.85 is 22.0303712036% of 889
