19.3 is what percent of 8 - 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 8 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 8, so we can write it down as 100%=8.
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%=8
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%=8/19.3
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 8

100%/x%=8/19.3
(100/x)*x=(8/19.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.41450777202073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.41450777202073) to get x
100/0.41450777202073=x
241.25=x
x=241.25

now we have:
19.3 is 241.25% of 8
