201.77 is what percent of 245.86 - 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 245.86 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 245.86, so we can write it down as 100%=245.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 201.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=201.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=245.86
2) x%=201.77
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%=245.86/201.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 201.77 is what percent of 245.86

100%/x%=245.86/201.77
(100/x)*x=(245.86/201.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2185161322298*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2185161322298) to get x
100/1.2185161322298=x
82.067030017083=x
x=82.067030017083

now we have:
201.77 is 82.067030017083% of 245.86
