19.2 is what percent of 23.38 - 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 23.38 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 23.38, so we can write it down as 100%=23.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.38
2) x%=19.2
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%=23.38/19.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.2 is what percent of 23.38

100%/x%=23.38/19.2
(100/x)*x=(23.38/19.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2177083333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2177083333333) to get x
100/1.2177083333333=x
82.121471343028=x
x=82.121471343028

now we have:
19.2 is 82.121471343028% of 23.38
