19.57 is what percent of 252 - 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 252 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 252, so we can write it down as 100%=252.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=252
2) x%=19.57
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%=252/19.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.57 is what percent of 252

100%/x%=252/19.57
(100/x)*x=(252/19.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.876852324987*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.876852324987) to get x
100/12.876852324987=x
7.765873015873=x
x=7.765873015873

now we have:
19.57 is 7.765873015873% of 252
