4.5 is what percent of 19.1 - 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 19.1 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 19.1, so we can write it down as 100%=19.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.1
2) x%=4.5
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%=19.1/4.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.5 is what percent of 19.1

100%/x%=19.1/4.5
(100/x)*x=(19.1/4.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2444444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2444444444444) to get x
100/4.2444444444444=x
23.560209424084=x
x=23.560209424084

now we have:
4.5 is 23.560209424084% of 19.1
