19.25 is what percent of 29.48 - 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 29.48 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 29.48, so we can write it down as 100%=29.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.48
2) x%=19.25
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%=29.48/19.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.25 is what percent of 29.48

100%/x%=29.48/19.25
(100/x)*x=(29.48/19.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5314285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5314285714286) to get x
100/1.5314285714286=x
65.298507462687=x
x=65.298507462687

now we have:
19.25 is 65.298507462687% of 29.48
