17.02 is what percent of 19.32 - 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 19.32 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 19.32, so we can write it down as 100%=19.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.32
2) x%=17.02
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%=19.32/17.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.02 is what percent of 19.32

100%/x%=19.32/17.02
(100/x)*x=(19.32/17.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1351351351351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1351351351351) to get x
100/1.1351351351351=x
88.095238095238=x
x=88.095238095238

now we have:
17.02 is 88.095238095238% of 19.32
