1.46 is what percent of 18.04 - 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 18.04 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 18.04, so we can write it down as 100%=18.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.04
2) x%=1.46
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%=18.04/1.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.46 is what percent of 18.04

100%/x%=18.04/1.46
(100/x)*x=(18.04/1.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.356164383562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.356164383562) to get x
100/12.356164383562=x
8.0931263858093=x
x=8.0931263858093

now we have:
1.46 is 8.0931263858093% of 18.04
