What is 19.2 percent of 975 - 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 975 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 975 is 100%, so we can write it down as 975=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 975=100%
2) x=19.2%
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:
975/x=100%/19.2%
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 19.2% of 975

975/x=100/19.2
(975/x)*x=(100/19.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
975=5.2083333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2083333333333) to get x
975/5.2083333333333=x
187.2=x
x=187.2

now we have:
19.2% of 975=187.2
