20 is what percent of 19203 - 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 19203 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 19203, so we can write it down as 100%=19203.
4. We know, that x% equals 20 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19203
2) x%=20
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%=19203/20
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20 is what percent of 19203

100%/x%=19203/20
(100/x)*x=(19203/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=960.15*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (960.15) to get x
100/960.15=x
0.10415039316773=x
x=0.10415039316773

now we have:
20 is 0.10415039316773% of 19203
