1478.58 is what percent of 19800 - 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 19800 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 19800, so we can write it down as 100%=19800.
4. We know, that x% equals 1478.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1478.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19800
2) x%=1478.58
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%=19800/1478.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1478.58 is what percent of 19800

100%/x%=19800/1478.58
(100/x)*x=(19800/1478.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.391226717526*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.391226717526) to get x
100/13.391226717526=x
7.4675757575758=x
x=7.4675757575758

now we have:
