What is 92.6 percent of 20 - 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 20 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 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%.
4. We know, that x is 92.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=92.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=92.6%
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:
20/x=100%/92.6%
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 92.6% of 20

20/x=100/92.6
(20/x)*x=(100/92.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=1.0799136069114*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0799136069114) to get x
20/1.0799136069114=x
18.52=x
x=18.52

now we have:
92.6% of 20=18.52
