117.44 is what percent of 21200 - 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 21200 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 21200, so we can write it down as 100%=21200.
4. We know, that x% equals 117.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=117.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21200
2) x%=117.44
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%=21200/117.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 117.44 is what percent of 21200

100%/x%=21200/117.44
(100/x)*x=(21200/117.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=180.51771117166*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (180.51771117166) to get x
100/180.51771117166=x
0.55396226415094=x
x=0.55396226415094

now we have:
