19 is what percent of 897 - 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 897 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 897, so we can write it down as 100%=897.
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%=897
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%=897/19
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 897

100%/x%=897/19
(100/x)*x=(897/19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.210526315789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.210526315789) to get x
100/47.210526315789=x
2.1181716833891=x
x=2.1181716833891

now we have:
19 is 2.1181716833891% of 897
