1.96 is what percent of 21.62 - 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 21.62 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 21.62, so we can write it down as 100%=21.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.62
2) x%=1.96
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%=21.62/1.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.96 is what percent of 21.62

100%/x%=21.62/1.96
(100/x)*x=(21.62/1.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.030612244898*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.030612244898) to get x
100/11.030612244898=x
9.0656799259945=x
x=9.0656799259945

now we have:
1.96 is 9.0656799259945% of 21.62
