19.62 is what percent of 92 - 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 92 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 92, so we can write it down as 100%=92.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=92
2) x%=19.62
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%=92/19.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.62 is what percent of 92

100%/x%=92/19.62
(100/x)*x=(92/19.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6890927624873*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6890927624873) to get x
100/4.6890927624873=x
21.326086956522=x
x=21.326086956522

now we have:
19.62 is 21.326086956522% of 92
