1.82 is what percent of 12.18 - 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 12.18 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 12.18, so we can write it down as 100%=12.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12.18
2) x%=1.82
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%=12.18/1.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.82 is what percent of 12.18

100%/x%=12.18/1.82
(100/x)*x=(12.18/1.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6923076923077) to get x
100/6.6923076923077=x
14.942528735632=x
x=14.942528735632

now we have:
1.82 is 14.942528735632% of 12.18
