198.17 is what percent of 940 - 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 940 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 940, so we can write it down as 100%=940.
4. We know, that x% equals 198.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=198.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=940
2) x%=198.17
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%=940/198.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 198.17 is what percent of 940

100%/x%=940/198.17
(100/x)*x=(940/198.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7434021294848*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7434021294848) to get x
100/4.7434021294848=x
21.081914893617=x
x=21.081914893617

now we have:
198.17 is 21.081914893617% of 940
