6.4 is what percent of 194.8 - 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 194.8 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 194.8, so we can write it down as 100%=194.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=194.8
2) x%=6.4
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%=194.8/6.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.4 is what percent of 194.8

100%/x%=194.8/6.4
(100/x)*x=(194.8/6.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.4375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.4375) to get x
100/30.4375=x
3.2854209445585=x
x=3.2854209445585

now we have:
6.4 is 3.2854209445585% of 194.8
