1.19 is what percent of 34.38 - 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 34.38 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 34.38, so we can write it down as 100%=34.38.
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%=34.38
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%=34.38/1.19
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 34.38

100%/x%=34.38/1.19
(100/x)*x=(34.38/1.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28.890756302521*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.890756302521) to get x
100/28.890756302521=x
3.4613147178592=x
x=3.4613147178592

now we have:
1.19 is 3.4613147178592% of 34.38
