19 is what percent of 60.06 - 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 60.06 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 60.06, so we can write it down as 100%=60.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60.06
2) x%=19
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%=60.06/19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19 is what percent of 60.06

100%/x%=60.06/19
(100/x)*x=(60.06/19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1610526315789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1610526315789) to get x
100/3.1610526315789=x
31.635031635032=x
x=31.635031635032

now we have:
19 is 31.635031635032% of 60.06
