What is 19.5 percent of 50.29 - 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 50.29 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 50.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50.29=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50.29=100%
2) x=19.5%
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:
50.29/x=100%/19.5%
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 19.5% of 50.29

50.29/x=100/19.5
(50.29/x)*x=(100/19.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50.29=5.1282051282051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1282051282051) to get x
50.29/5.1282051282051=x
9.80655=x
x=9.80655

now we have:
19.5% of 50.29=9.80655
