34.08 is what percent of 194.99 - 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 194.99 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 194.99, so we can write it down as 100%=194.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=194.99
2) x%=34.08
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%=194.99/34.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.08 is what percent of 194.99

100%/x%=194.99/34.08
(100/x)*x=(194.99/34.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7215375586854*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7215375586854) to get x
100/5.7215375586854=x
17.477819375353=x
x=17.477819375353

now we have:
34.08 is 17.477819375353% of 194.99
