19.94 is what percent of 817.13 - 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 817.13 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 817.13, so we can write it down as 100%=817.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=817.13
2) x%=19.94
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%=817.13/19.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.94 is what percent of 817.13

100%/x%=817.13/19.94
(100/x)*x=(817.13/19.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.979438314945*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.979438314945) to get x
100/40.979438314945=x
2.4402481857232=x
x=2.4402481857232

now we have:
19.94 is 2.4402481857232% of 817.13
