42.01 is what percent of 192 - 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 192 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 192, so we can write it down as 100%=192.
4. We know, that x% equals 42.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=42.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=192
2) x%=42.01
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%=192/42.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 42.01 is what percent of 192

100%/x%=192/42.01
(100/x)*x=(192/42.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.570340395144*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.570340395144) to get x
100/4.570340395144=x
21.880208333333=x
x=21.880208333333

now we have:
42.01 is 21.880208333333% of 192
