64 is what percent of 193.6 - 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 193.6 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 193.6, so we can write it down as 100%=193.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=193.6
2) x%=64
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%=193.6/64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64 is what percent of 193.6

100%/x%=193.6/64
(100/x)*x=(193.6/64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.025) to get x
100/3.025=x
33.057851239669=x
x=33.057851239669

now we have:
64 is 33.057851239669% of 193.6
