267.84 is what percent of 190.4 - 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 190.4 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 190.4, so we can write it down as 100%=190.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 267.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=267.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=190.4
2) x%=267.84
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%=190.4/267.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 267.84 is what percent of 190.4

100%/x%=190.4/267.84
(100/x)*x=(190.4/267.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.71087216248507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.71087216248507) to get x
100/0.71087216248507=x
140.67226890756=x
x=140.67226890756

now we have:
267.84 is 140.67226890756% of 190.4
