21.02 is what percent of 1227.03 - 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 1227.03 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 1227.03, so we can write it down as 100%=1227.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 21.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1227.03
2) x%=21.02
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%=1227.03/21.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21.02 is what percent of 1227.03

100%/x%=1227.03/21.02
(100/x)*x=(1227.03/21.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=58.374405328259*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (58.374405328259) to get x
100/58.374405328259=x
1.7130795498073=x
x=1.7130795498073

now we have:
21.02 is 1.7130795498073% of 1227.03
