1.48 is what percent of 1.84 - 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 1.84 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 1.84, so we can write it down as 100%=1.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.84
2) x%=1.48
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%=1.84/1.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.48 is what percent of 1.84

100%/x%=1.84/1.48
(100/x)*x=(1.84/1.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2432432432432*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2432432432432) to get x
100/1.2432432432432=x
80.434782608696=x
x=80.434782608696

now we have:
1.48 is 80.434782608696% of 1.84
