20 is what percent of 19395 - 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 19395 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 19395, so we can write it down as 100%=19395.
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%=19395
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%=19395/20
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 19395

100%/x%=19395/20
(100/x)*x=(19395/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=969.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (969.75) to get x
100/969.75=x
0.10311936065996=x
x=0.10311936065996

now we have:
20 is 0.10311936065996% of 19395
