What is 20.07 percent of 131.2 - 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 131.2 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 131.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 131.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.07% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.07%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 131.2=100%
2) x=20.07%
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:
131.2/x=100%/20.07%
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 20.07% of 131.2

131.2/x=100/20.07
(131.2/x)*x=(100/20.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
131.2=4.9825610363727*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9825610363727) to get x
131.2/4.9825610363727=x
26.33184=x
x=26.33184

now we have:
20.07% of 131.2=26.33184
