1.19 is what percent of 15.55 - 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 15.55 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 100% equals 15.55, so we can write it down as 100%=15.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.55
2) x%=1.19
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:
100%/x%=15.55/1.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.19 is what percent of 15.55

100%/x%=15.55/1.19
(100/x)*x=(15.55/1.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.067226890756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.067226890756) to get x
100/13.067226890756=x
7.6527331189711=x
x=7.6527331189711

now we have:
1.19 is 7.6527331189711% of 15.55
