126.8 is what percent of 1194.74 - 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 1194.74 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 1194.74, so we can write it down as 100%=1194.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 126.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=126.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1194.74
2) x%=126.8
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%=1194.74/126.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 126.8 is what percent of 1194.74

100%/x%=1194.74/126.8
(100/x)*x=(1194.74/126.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.4222397476341*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4222397476341) to get x
100/9.4222397476341=x
10.613187806552=x
x=10.613187806552

now we have:
