What is 46.4 percent of 19.2 - 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 19.2 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 19.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 19.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 46.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=46.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 19.2=100%
2) x=46.4%
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:
19.2/x=100%/46.4%
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 46.4% of 19.2

19.2/x=100/46.4
(19.2/x)*x=(100/46.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
19.2=2.1551724137931*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1551724137931) to get x
19.2/2.1551724137931=x
8.9088=x
x=8.9088

now we have:
46.4% of 19.2=8.9088
