1.19 is what percent of 7.35 - 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 7.35 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 7.35, so we can write it down as 100%=7.35.
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%=7.35
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%=7.35/1.19
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 7.35

100%/x%=7.35/1.19
(100/x)*x=(7.35/1.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1764705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1764705882353) to get x
100/6.1764705882353=x
16.190476190476=x
x=16.190476190476

now we have:
1.19 is 16.190476190476% of 7.35
