What is 19.17 percent of 120 - 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 120 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 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=19.17%
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:
120/x=100%/19.17%
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 19.17% of 120

120/x=100/19.17
(120/x)*x=(100/19.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=5.2164840897235*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2164840897235) to get x
120/5.2164840897235=x
23.004=x
x=23.004

now we have:
19.17% of 120=23.004
