1 is what percent of 18.13 - 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 18.13 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 18.13, so we can write it down as 100%=18.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.13
2) x%=1
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%=18.13/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 18.13

100%/x%=18.13/1
(100/x)*x=(18.13/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.13*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.13) to get x
100/18.13=x
5.5157198014341=x
x=5.5157198014341

now we have:
1 is 5.5157198014341% of 18.13
