1.82 is what percent of 42.74 - 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 42.74 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 42.74, so we can write it down as 100%=42.74.
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%=42.74
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%=42.74/1.82
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 42.74

100%/x%=42.74/1.82
(100/x)*x=(42.74/1.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.483516483516*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.483516483516) to get x
100/23.483516483516=x
4.2583060364998=x
x=4.2583060364998

now we have:
1.82 is 4.2583060364998% of 42.74
