20050.8 is what percent of 130200 - 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 130200 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 130200, so we can write it down as 100%=130200.
4. We know, that x% equals 20050.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20050.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=130200
2) x%=20050.8
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%=130200/20050.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20050.8 is what percent of 130200

100%/x%=130200/20050.8
(100/x)*x=(130200/20050.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.4935064935065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4935064935065) to get x
100/6.4935064935065=x
15.4=x
x=15.4

now we have:
20050.8 is 15.4% of 130200
