196.48 is what percent of 20480 - 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 20480 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 20480, so we can write it down as 100%=20480.
4. We know, that x% equals 196.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=196.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20480
2) x%=196.48
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%=20480/196.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 196.48 is what percent of 20480

100%/x%=20480/196.48
(100/x)*x=(20480/196.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=104.2345276873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (104.2345276873) to get x
100/104.2345276873=x
0.959375=x
x=0.959375

now we have:
196.48 is 0.959375% of 20480
