What is 78.48 percent of 200 - 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 200 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 200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 78.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=78.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 200=100%
2) x=78.48%
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:
200/x=100%/78.48%
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 78.48% of 200

200/x=100/78.48
(200/x)*x=(100/78.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
200=1.2742099898063*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2742099898063) to get x
200/1.2742099898063=x
156.96=x
x=156.96

now we have:
78.48% of 200=156.96
