What is 7.69 percent of 198.2 - 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 198.2 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 198.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 198.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.69% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.69%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 198.2=100%
2) x=7.69%
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:
198.2/x=100%/7.69%
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 7.69% of 198.2

198.2/x=100/7.69
(198.2/x)*x=(100/7.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
198.2=13.003901170351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.003901170351) to get x
198.2/13.003901170351=x
15.24158=x
x=15.24158

now we have:
7.69% of 198.2=15.24158
