96.91 is what percent of 193.82 - 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 193.82 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 193.82, so we can write it down as 100%=193.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 96.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=193.82
2) x%=96.91
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%=193.82/96.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96.91 is what percent of 193.82

100%/x%=193.82/96.91
(100/x)*x=(193.82/96.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x
100/2=x
50=x
x=50

now we have:
96.91 is 50% of 193.82
