1.82 is what percent of 3.69 - 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 3.69 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 3.69, so we can write it down as 100%=3.69.
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%=3.69
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%=3.69/1.82
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 3.69

100%/x%=3.69/1.82
(100/x)*x=(3.69/1.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0274725274725*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0274725274725) to get x
100/2.0274725274725=x
49.322493224932=x
x=49.322493224932

now we have:
1.82 is 49.322493224932% of 3.69
