19 is what percent of 693.2 - 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 693.2 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 693.2, so we can write it down as 100%=693.2.
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%=693.2
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%=693.2/19
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 693.2

100%/x%=693.2/19
(100/x)*x=(693.2/19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=36.484210526316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.484210526316) to get x
100/36.484210526316=x
2.7409117137911=x
x=2.7409117137911

now we have:
19 is 2.7409117137911% of 693.2
