223.97 is what percent of 197.69 - 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 197.69 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 197.69, so we can write it down as 100%=197.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 223.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=223.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=197.69
2) x%=223.97
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%=197.69/223.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 223.97 is what percent of 197.69

100%/x%=197.69/223.97
(100/x)*x=(197.69/223.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.88266285663258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.88266285663258) to get x
100/0.88266285663258=x
113.29354039152=x
x=113.29354039152

now we have:
