197.6 is what percent of 104 - 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 104 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 104, so we can write it down as 100%=104.
4. We know, that x% equals 197.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=197.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104
2) x%=197.6
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%=104/197.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 197.6 is what percent of 104

100%/x%=104/197.6
(100/x)*x=(104/197.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.52631578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.52631578947368) to get x
100/0.52631578947368=x
190=x
x=190

now we have:
197.6 is 190% of 104
