What is 184 percent of 189 - 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 189 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 189 is 100%, so we can write it down as 189=100%.
4. We know, that x is 184% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=184%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 189=100%
2) x=184%
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:
189/x=100%/184%
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 184% of 189

189/x=100/184
(189/x)*x=(100/184)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
189=0.54347826086957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.54347826086957) to get x
189/0.54347826086957=x
347.76=x
x=347.76

now we have:
184% of 189=347.76
