10.62 is what percent of 19.99 - 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 19.99 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 19.99, so we can write it down as 100%=19.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.99
2) x%=10.62
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%=19.99/10.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.62 is what percent of 19.99

100%/x%=19.99/10.62
(100/x)*x=(19.99/10.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8822975517891*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8822975517891) to get x
100/1.8822975517891=x
53.126563281641=x
x=53.126563281641

now we have:
10.62 is 53.126563281641% of 19.99
