196.49 is what percent of 114.24 - 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 114.24 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 114.24, so we can write it down as 100%=114.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 196.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=196.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.24
2) x%=196.49
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%=114.24/196.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 196.49 is what percent of 114.24

100%/x%=114.24/196.49
(100/x)*x=(114.24/196.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.58140363377271*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.58140363377271) to get x
100/0.58140363377271=x
171.99754901961=x
x=171.99754901961

now we have:
