20.72 is what percent of 19 - 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 19 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 19, so we can write it down as 100%=19.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19
2) x%=20.72
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%=19/20.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.72 is what percent of 19

100%/x%=19/20.72
(100/x)*x=(19/20.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.91698841698842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.91698841698842) to get x
100/0.91698841698842=x
109.05263157895=x
x=109.05263157895

now we have:
20.72 is 109.05263157895% of 19
