197.99 is what percent of 329.99 - 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 329.99 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 329.99, so we can write it down as 100%=329.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 197.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=197.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=329.99
2) x%=197.99
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%=329.99/197.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 197.99 is what percent of 329.99

100%/x%=329.99/197.99
(100/x)*x=(329.99/197.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6667003384009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6667003384009) to get x
100/1.6667003384009=x
59.998787842056=x
x=59.998787842056

now we have:
197.99 is 59.998787842056% of 329.99
