19.73 is what percent of 197.3 - 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 197.3 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 197.3, so we can write it down as 100%=197.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=197.3
2) x%=19.73
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%=197.3/19.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.73 is what percent of 197.3

100%/x%=197.3/19.73
(100/x)*x=(197.3/19.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10) to get x
100/10=x
10=x
x=10

now we have:
19.73 is 10% of 197.3
