1.8 is what percent of 9.725 - 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 9.725 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 9.725, so we can write it down as 100%=9.725.
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%=9.725
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%=9.725/1.8
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 9.725

100%/x%=9.725/1.8
(100/x)*x=(9.725/1.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4027777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4027777777778) to get x
100/5.4027777777778=x
18.508997429306=x
x=18.508997429306

now we have:
1.8 is 18.508997429306% of 9.725
