19.4 is what percent of 900.78 - 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 900.78 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 900.78, so we can write it down as 100%=900.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=900.78
2) x%=19.4
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%=900.78/19.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.4 is what percent of 900.78

100%/x%=900.78/19.4
(100/x)*x=(900.78/19.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=46.431958762887*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.431958762887) to get x
100/46.431958762887=x
2.1536890250672=x
x=2.1536890250672

now we have:
19.4 is 2.1536890250672% of 900.78
