72.66 is what percent of 198 - 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 198 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 198, so we can write it down as 100%=198.
4. We know, that x% equals 72.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=72.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=198
2) x%=72.66
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%=198/72.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 72.66 is what percent of 198

100%/x%=198/72.66
(100/x)*x=(198/72.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7250206440958*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7250206440958) to get x
100/2.7250206440958=x
36.69696969697=x
x=36.69696969697

now we have:
72.66 is 36.69696969697% of 198
