What is 133 percent of 188 - 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 188 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 188 is 100%, so we can write it down as 188=100%.
4. We know, that x is 133% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=133%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 188=100%
2) x=133%
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:
188/x=100%/133%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 133% of 188

188/x=100/133
(188/x)*x=(100/133)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
188=0.75187969924812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75187969924812) to get x
188/0.75187969924812=x
250.04=x
x=250.04

now we have:
133% of 188=250.04
