1.9 is what percent of 19.7 - 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 19.7 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 19.7, so we can write it down as 100%=19.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.7
2) x%=1.9
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%=19.7/1.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.9 is what percent of 19.7

100%/x%=19.7/1.9
(100/x)*x=(19.7/1.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.368421052632*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.368421052632) to get x
100/10.368421052632=x
9.6446700507614=x
x=9.6446700507614

now we have:
1.9 is 9.6446700507614% of 19.7
