259.27 is what percent of 189.22 - 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 189.22 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 189.22, so we can write it down as 100%=189.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 259.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=259.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=189.22
2) x%=259.27
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%=189.22/259.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 259.27 is what percent of 189.22

100%/x%=189.22/259.27
(100/x)*x=(189.22/259.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.7298183360975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.7298183360975) to get x
100/0.7298183360975=x
137.02039953493=x
x=137.02039953493

now we have:
