What is 6.25 percent of 19488 - 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 19488 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 19488 is 100%, so we can write it down as 19488=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 19488=100%
2) x=6.25%
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:
19488/x=100%/6.25%
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 6.25% of 19488

19488/x=100/6.25
(19488/x)*x=(100/6.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
19488=16*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16) to get x
19488/16=x
1218=x
x=1218

now we have:
6.25% of 19488=1218
