19.11 is what percent of 238.84 - 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 238.84 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 238.84, so we can write it down as 100%=238.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=238.84
2) x%=19.11
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%=238.84/19.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.11 is what percent of 238.84

100%/x%=238.84/19.11
(100/x)*x=(238.84/19.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.498168498168*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.498168498168) to get x
100/12.498168498168=x
8.0011723329426=x
x=8.0011723329426

now we have:
19.11 is 8.0011723329426% of 238.84
