200.5 is what percent of 243.3 - 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 243.3 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 243.3, so we can write it down as 100%=243.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 200.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=200.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=243.3
2) x%=200.5
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%=243.3/200.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 200.5 is what percent of 243.3

100%/x%=243.3/200.5
(100/x)*x=(243.3/200.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2134663341646*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2134663341646) to get x
100/1.2134663341646=x
82.408549116317=x
x=82.408549116317

now we have:
200.5 is 82.408549116317% of 243.3
