21 is what percent of 1900000 - 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 1900000 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 1900000, so we can write it down as 100%=1900000.
4. We know, that x% equals 21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1900000
2) x%=21
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%=1900000/21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21 is what percent of 1900000

100%/x%=1900000/21
(100/x)*x=(1900000/21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=90476.19047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (90476.19047619) to get x
100/90476.19047619=x
0.0011052631578947=x
x=0.0011052631578947

now we have:
21 is 0.0011052631578947% of 1900000
