2496.15 is what percent of 19500 - 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 19500 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 19500, so we can write it down as 100%=19500.
4. We know, that x% equals 2496.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2496.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19500
2) x%=2496.15
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%=19500/2496.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2496.15 is what percent of 19500

100%/x%=19500/2496.15
(100/x)*x=(19500/2496.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8120305270116*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8120305270116) to get x
100/7.8120305270116=x
12.800769230769=x
x=12.800769230769

now we have:
2496.15 is 12.800769230769% of 19500
