19.59 is what percent of 56.25 - 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 56.25 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 56.25, so we can write it down as 100%=56.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=56.25
2) x%=19.59
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%=56.25/19.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.59 is what percent of 56.25

100%/x%=56.25/19.59
(100/x)*x=(56.25/19.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8713629402757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8713629402757) to get x
100/2.8713629402757=x
34.826666666667=x
x=34.826666666667

now we have:
19.59 is 34.826666666667% of 56.25
