198.56 is what percent of 6856 - 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 6856 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 6856, so we can write it down as 100%=6856.
4. We know, that x% equals 198.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=198.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6856
2) x%=198.56
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%=6856/198.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 198.56 is what percent of 6856

100%/x%=6856/198.56
(100/x)*x=(6856/198.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.528605962933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.528605962933) to get x
100/34.528605962933=x
2.8961493582264=x
x=2.8961493582264

now we have:
