What is 9.1 percent of 190 - 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 190 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 190 is 100%, so we can write it down as 190=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 190=100%
2) x=9.1%
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:
190/x=100%/9.1%
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 9.1% of 190

190/x=100/9.1
(190/x)*x=(100/9.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
190=10.989010989011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.989010989011) to get x
190/10.989010989011=x
17.29=x
x=17.29

now we have:
9.1% of 190=17.29
