0.84 is what percent of 18.16 - 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 18.16 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 100% equals 18.16, so we can write it down as 100%=18.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.16
2) x%=0.84
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:
100%/x%=18.16/0.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.84 is what percent of 18.16

100%/x%=18.16/0.84
(100/x)*x=(18.16/0.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.619047619048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.619047619048) to get x
100/21.619047619048=x
4.625550660793=x
x=4.625550660793

now we have:
0.84 is 4.625550660793% of 18.16
