1.19 is what percent of 29.72 - 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 29.72 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 29.72, so we can write it down as 100%=29.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.72
2) x%=1.19
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%=29.72/1.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.19 is what percent of 29.72

100%/x%=29.72/1.19
(100/x)*x=(29.72/1.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.974789915966*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.974789915966) to get x
100/24.974789915966=x
4.0040376850606=x
x=4.0040376850606

now we have:
1.19 is 4.0040376850606% of 29.72
