What is 10.25 percent of 19.95 - 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 19.95 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 19.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 19.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 19.95=100%
2) x=10.25%
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:
19.95/x=100%/10.25%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 10.25% of 19.95

19.95/x=100/10.25
(19.95/x)*x=(100/10.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
19.95=9.7560975609756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.7560975609756) to get x
19.95/9.7560975609756=x
2.044875=x
x=2.044875

now we have:
10.25% of 19.95=2.044875
