35.92 is what percent of 188.686 - 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 188.686 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 188.686, so we can write it down as 100%=188.686.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=188.686
2) x%=35.92
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%=188.686/35.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.92 is what percent of 188.686

100%/x%=188.686/35.92
(100/x)*x=(188.686/35.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.25295100223*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.25295100223) to get x
100/5.25295100223=x
19.0369184783=x
x=19.0369184783

now we have:
