198.25 is what percent of 246.5 - 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 246.5 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 246.5, so we can write it down as 100%=246.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 198.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=198.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=246.5
2) x%=198.25
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%=246.5/198.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 198.25 is what percent of 246.5

100%/x%=246.5/198.25
(100/x)*x=(246.5/198.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2433795712484*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2433795712484) to get x
100/1.2433795712484=x
80.425963488844=x
x=80.425963488844

now we have:
198.25 is 80.425963488844% of 246.5
