203.25 is what percent of 1634.8 - 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 1634.8 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 1634.8, so we can write it down as 100%=1634.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 203.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=203.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1634.8
2) x%=203.25
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%=1634.8/203.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 203.25 is what percent of 1634.8

100%/x%=1634.8/203.25
(100/x)*x=(1634.8/203.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.0432964329643*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0432964329643) to get x
100/8.0432964329643=x
12.432713481771=x
x=12.432713481771

now we have:
203.25 is 12.432713481771% of 1634.8
