Image alignment in css

i wanted to align some images to my practice website but i couldn't do it with the usual width, margin and padding elements, so i used position element instead. Now i am having trouble writing the responsive code for the images. Could you suggest a way to align the images using the width,margin and padding elements.

/*************SECTION************/

.man{
    position: relative;
    right: 170px;
    width: 200%;
    margin: .5px;
}

.head {
    text-align: center;
    position: relative;
    right: 10px;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-family: 'Open-Sans' , sans-serif;
    font-weight: 300;
    margin-left: 10%;
    padding: 0;
    color: #83ae9b;
    display: inline-block;
}

#head2{
    text-align: center;
    margin-top: 75px;
    font-size: 22px;
    font-family: 'Open-Sans' , sans-serif;
    font-weight: 700;
    color: #355c7d;
}

.web{
    position: relative;
    right: 315px;
    width: 270%;
    margin-top: -25%;
    margin-bottom: 25%;
    padding-bottom: 25%;
}

#head3{
    text-align: center;
    font-style: normal;
    font-family: 'Open-Sans', sans-serif;
    margin-bottom: 100%;
    margin-top: -100%;
    color: #355c7d;
}

.graphic{
    position: relative;
    right: 315px;
    width: 270%;
    margin-top: -125%;
    margin-bottom: 25%;
    padding-bottom: 25%;
}

#head4{
    text-align: center;
    font-style: normal;
    font-family: 'Open-Sans', sans-serif;
    margin-bottom: 100%;
    margin-top: -100%;
    color: #355c7d;
}

.mograph{
    position: relative;
    right: 85px;
    width: 150%;
    margin-top: -100%;
    margin-bottom: 25%;
    padding-bottom: 25%;
}

#head5{
    text-align: center;
    font-style: normal;
    font-family: 'Open-Sans', sans-serif;
    margin-bottom: 100%;
    margin-top: -65%;
    color: #355c7d;
}

.man .web and .mograph are the images

At first glance, you have a very wide width. Try a smaller width & see if it responds. Also, work on one graphic only & get it working, then add on the others one at a time. Sometimes te size of the graphics are too big & will make it appear that the code isnt working.

width in pixels is more accurate than in percentage. thats where i was going wrong.
