204.63 is what percent of 1046.4 - 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 1046.4 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 1046.4, so we can write it down as 100%=1046.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 204.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=204.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1046.4
2) x%=204.63
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%=1046.4/204.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 204.63 is what percent of 1046.4

100%/x%=1046.4/204.63
(100/x)*x=(1046.4/204.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1136197038557*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1136197038557) to get x
100/5.1136197038557=x
19.555619266055=x
x=19.555619266055

now we have:
204.63 is 19.555619266055% of 1046.4
