19.04 is what percent of 36.75 - 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 36.75 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 36.75, so we can write it down as 100%=36.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.75
2) x%=19.04
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%=36.75/19.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.04 is what percent of 36.75

100%/x%=36.75/19.04
(100/x)*x=(36.75/19.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9301470588235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9301470588235) to get x
100/1.9301470588235=x
51.809523809524=x
x=51.809523809524

now we have:
19.04 is 51.809523809524% of 36.75
