95.25 is what percent of 208 - 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 208 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 208, so we can write it down as 100%=208.
4. We know, that x% equals 95.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=208
2) x%=95.25
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%=208/95.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95.25 is what percent of 208

100%/x%=208/95.25
(100/x)*x=(208/95.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1837270341207*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1837270341207) to get x
100/2.1837270341207=x
45.793269230769=x
x=45.793269230769

now we have:
95.25 is 45.793269230769% of 208
