7.19 is what percent of 21.54 - 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 21.54 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 21.54, so we can write it down as 100%=21.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.54
2) x%=7.19
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%=21.54/7.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.19 is what percent of 21.54

100%/x%=21.54/7.19
(100/x)*x=(21.54/7.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9958275382476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9958275382476) to get x
100/2.9958275382476=x
33.379758588672=x
x=33.379758588672

now we have:
7.19 is 33.379758588672% of 21.54
