19.45 is what percent of 213.95 - 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 213.95 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 213.95, so we can write it down as 100%=213.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=213.95
2) x%=19.45
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%=213.95/19.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.45 is what percent of 213.95

100%/x%=213.95/19.45
(100/x)*x=(213.95/19.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11) to get x
100/11=x
9.0909090909091=x
x=9.0909090909091

now we have:
19.45 is 9.0909090909091% of 213.95
