1. We assume, that the number 19 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 19=100%.
4. We know, that x is 32% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=32%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 19=100%
2) x=32%
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/x=100%/32%
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 32% of 19
19/x=100/32
(19/x)*x=(100/32)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
19=3.125*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.125) to get x
19/3.125=x
6.08=x
x=6.08
now we have:
32% of 19=6.08
