92.68 is what percent of 238.8 - 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 238.8 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 238.8, so we can write it down as 100%=238.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 92.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=238.8
2) x%=92.68
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%=238.8/92.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92.68 is what percent of 238.8

100%/x%=238.8/92.68
(100/x)*x=(238.8/92.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5766076823479*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5766076823479) to get x
100/2.5766076823479=x
38.810720268007=x
x=38.810720268007

now we have:
92.68 is 38.810720268007% of 238.8
