190.5 is what percent of 127 - 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 127 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 127, so we can write it down as 100%=127.
4. We know, that x% equals 190.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=190.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=127
2) x%=190.5
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%=127/190.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 190.5 is what percent of 127

100%/x%=127/190.5
(100/x)*x=(127/190.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.66666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.66666666666667) to get x
100/0.66666666666667=x
150=x
x=150

now we have:
190.5 is 150% of 127
