19.35 is what percent of 32.99 - 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 32.99 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 32.99, so we can write it down as 100%=32.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=32.99
2) x%=19.35
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%=32.99/19.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.35 is what percent of 32.99

100%/x%=32.99/19.35
(100/x)*x=(32.99/19.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7049095607235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7049095607235) to get x
100/1.7049095607235=x
58.65413761746=x
x=58.65413761746

now we have:
19.35 is 58.65413761746% of 32.99
