198.9 is what percent of 459.6 - 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 459.6 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 459.6, so we can write it down as 100%=459.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 198.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=198.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=459.6
2) x%=198.9
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%=459.6/198.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 198.9 is what percent of 459.6

100%/x%=459.6/198.9
(100/x)*x=(459.6/198.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3107088989442*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3107088989442) to get x
100/2.3107088989442=x
43.276762402089=x
x=43.276762402089

now we have:
198.9 is 43.276762402089% of 459.6
