What is 19.5 percent of 22 - 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 22 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 22 is 100%, so we can write it down as 22=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22=100%
2) x=19.5%
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:
22/x=100%/19.5%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 19.5% of 22

22/x=100/19.5
(22/x)*x=(100/19.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22=5.12820512821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.12820512821) to get x
22/5.12820512821=x
4.29=x
x=4.29

now we have:
19.5% of 22=4.29
