1.8 is what percent of 83.327 - 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 83.327 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 83.327, so we can write it down as 100%=83.327.
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%=83.327
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%=83.327/1.8
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 83.327

100%/x%=83.327/1.8
(100/x)*x=(83.327/1.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=46.292777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.292777777778) to get x
100/46.292777777778=x
2.1601641724771=x
x=2.1601641724771

now we have:
1.8 is 2.1601641724771% of 83.327
