1.82 is what percent of 43.82 - 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 43.82 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 43.82, so we can write it down as 100%=43.82.
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%=43.82
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%=43.82/1.82
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 43.82

100%/x%=43.82/1.82
(100/x)*x=(43.82/1.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.076923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.076923076923) to get x
100/24.076923076923=x
4.1533546325879=x
x=4.1533546325879

now we have:
1.82 is 4.1533546325879% of 43.82
