19.25 is what percent of 369.25 - 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 369.25 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 369.25, so we can write it down as 100%=369.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=369.25
2) x%=19.25
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%=369.25/19.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.25 is what percent of 369.25

100%/x%=369.25/19.25
(100/x)*x=(369.25/19.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.181818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.181818181818) to get x
100/19.181818181818=x
5.2132701421801=x
x=5.2132701421801

now we have:
19.25 is 5.2132701421801% of 369.25
