198.79 is what percent of 1950 - 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 1950 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 1950, so we can write it down as 100%=1950.
4. We know, that x% equals 198.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=198.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1950
2) x%=198.79
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%=1950/198.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 198.79 is what percent of 1950

100%/x%=1950/198.79
(100/x)*x=(1950/198.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.809346546607*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.809346546607) to get x
100/9.809346546607=x
10.194358974359=x
x=10.194358974359

now we have:
198.79 is 10.194358974359% of 1950
