205.63 is what percent of 295 - 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 295 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 295, so we can write it down as 100%=295.
4. We know, that x% equals 205.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=205.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=295
2) x%=205.63
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%=295/205.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 205.63 is what percent of 295

100%/x%=295/205.63
(100/x)*x=(295/205.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4346155716578*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4346155716578) to get x
100/1.4346155716578=x
69.705084745763=x
x=69.705084745763

now we have:
205.63 is 69.705084745763% of 295
