19.3 is what percent of 21 - 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 21 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 21, so we can write it down as 100%=21.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21
2) x%=19.3
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%=21/19.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.3 is what percent of 21

100%/x%=21/19.3
(100/x)*x=(21/19.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0880829015544*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0880829015544) to get x
100/1.0880829015544=x
91.904761904762=x
x=91.904761904762

now we have:
19.3 is 91.904761904762% of 21
