8.64 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 8.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=192
2) x%=8.64
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%=192/8.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.64 is what percent of 192

100%/x%=192/8.64
(100/x)*x=(192/8.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.222222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.222222222222) to get x
100/22.222222222222=x
4.5=x
x=4.5

now we have:
8.64 is 4.5% of 192
