206.8 is what percent of 218 - 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 218 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 218, so we can write it down as 100%=218.
4. We know, that x% equals 206.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=206.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=218
2) x%=206.8
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%=218/206.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 206.8 is what percent of 218

100%/x%=218/206.8
(100/x)*x=(218/206.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0541586073501*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0541586073501) to get x
100/1.0541586073501=x
94.862385321101=x
x=94.862385321101

now we have:
206.8 is 94.862385321101% of 218
