6.5 is what percent of 19.12 - 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 19.12 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 19.12, so we can write it down as 100%=19.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.12
2) x%=6.5
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%=19.12/6.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.5 is what percent of 19.12

100%/x%=19.12/6.5
(100/x)*x=(19.12/6.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9415384615385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9415384615385) to get x
100/2.9415384615385=x
33.995815899582=x
x=33.995815899582

now we have:
6.5 is 33.995815899582% of 19.12
