1.8 is what percent of 2.268 - 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 2.268 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 2.268, so we can write it down as 100%=2.268.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.268
2) x%=1.8
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%=2.268/1.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.8 is what percent of 2.268

100%/x%=2.268/1.8
(100/x)*x=(2.268/1.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.26*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.26) to get x
100/1.26=x
79.365079365079=x
x=79.365079365079

now we have:
1.8 is 79.365079365079% of 2.268
