19.56 is what percent of 17.52 - 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 17.52 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 17.52, so we can write it down as 100%=17.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.52
2) x%=19.56
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%=17.52/19.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.56 is what percent of 17.52

100%/x%=17.52/19.56
(100/x)*x=(17.52/19.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.89570552147239*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.89570552147239) to get x
100/0.89570552147239=x
111.64383561644=x
x=111.64383561644

now we have:
19.56 is 111.64383561644% of 17.52
