1.36 is what percent of 18.34 - 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 18.34 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 18.34, so we can write it down as 100%=18.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.34
2) x%=1.36
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%=18.34/1.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.36 is what percent of 18.34

100%/x%=18.34/1.36
(100/x)*x=(18.34/1.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.485294117647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.485294117647) to get x
100/13.485294117647=x
7.4154852780807=x
x=7.4154852780807

now we have:
1.36 is 7.4154852780807% of 18.34
