1.82 is what percent of 16.97 - 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 16.97 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 16.97, so we can write it down as 100%=16.97.
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%=16.97
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%=16.97/1.82
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 16.97

100%/x%=16.97/1.82
(100/x)*x=(16.97/1.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3241758241758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3241758241758) to get x
100/9.3241758241758=x
10.724808485563=x
x=10.724808485563

now we have:
1.82 is 10.724808485563% of 16.97
