What is 8.2164 percent of 19.99 - 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 19.99 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 19.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 19.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.2164% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.2164%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 19.99=100%
2) x=8.2164%
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:
19.99/x=100%/8.2164%
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 8.2164% of 19.99

19.99/x=100/8.2164
(19.99/x)*x=(100/8.2164)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
19.99=12.170780390439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.170780390439) to get x
19.99/12.170780390439=x
1.64245836=x
x=1.64245836

now we have:
8.2164% of 19.99=1.64245836
