So we do 152 is 100%

We now substitute a variable for what we are looking for,

If 152 is 100%, so we put it down as 152=100%

Now that x is 19% of the output value, so we can put it down as x=19%

Now we solve two easy equations,

1. 152=100%

2. x=19%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, now write down this; 152/x=100%/19%

Then we solve the equation; Solution for what is 19% of 152

152/x=100/19

(152/x)*x=(100/19)*x ---- we multiply both sides of the equation by x

152=5.26315789474*x --- we divide both sides of the equation by (5.26315789474) to find x

152/5.26315789474=x

x=28.88

That means that the correct answer is 19% of 152=28.88

Hope This Helps!!!
