19 is what percent of 9600 - 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 9600 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 9600, so we can write it down as 100%=9600.
4. We know, that x% equals 19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9600
2) x%=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%=9600/19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19 is what percent of 9600

100%/x%=9600/19
(100/x)*x=(9600/19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=505.26315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (505.26315789474) to get x
100/505.26315789474=x
0.19791666666667=x
x=0.19791666666667

now we have:
19 is 0.19791666666667% of 9600
