What is 19.8 percent of 97000 - 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 97000 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 97000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 97000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 97000=100%
2) x=19.8%
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:
97000/x=100%/19.8%
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 19.8% of 97000

97000/x=100/19.8
(97000/x)*x=(100/19.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
97000=5.0505050505051*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0505050505051) to get x
97000/5.0505050505051=x
19206=x
x=19206

now we have:
19.8% of 97000=19206
