198.86 is what percent of 163.63 - 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 163.63 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 163.63, so we can write it down as 100%=163.63.
4. We know, that x% equals 198.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=198.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=163.63
2) x%=198.86
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%=163.63/198.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 198.86 is what percent of 163.63

100%/x%=163.63/198.86
(100/x)*x=(163.63/198.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.82284018907774*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.82284018907774) to get x
100/0.82284018907774=x
121.53028173318=x
x=121.53028173318

now we have:
198.86 is 121.53028173318% of 163.63
