19.74 is what percent of 323.1 - 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 323.1 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 323.1, so we can write it down as 100%=323.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=323.1
2) x%=19.74
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%=323.1/19.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.74 is what percent of 323.1

100%/x%=323.1/19.74
(100/x)*x=(323.1/19.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.367781155015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.367781155015) to get x
100/16.367781155015=x
6.1095636025998=x
x=6.1095636025998

now we have:
19.74 is 6.1095636025998% of 323.1
