116.3 is what percent of 214.9 - 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 214.9 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 214.9, so we can write it down as 100%=214.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 116.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=116.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=214.9
2) x%=116.3
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%=214.9/116.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 116.3 is what percent of 214.9

100%/x%=214.9/116.3
(100/x)*x=(214.9/116.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.847807394669*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.847807394669) to get x
100/1.847807394669=x
54.118194509074=x
x=54.118194509074

now we have:
116.3 is 54.118194509074% of 214.9
