1.84 is what percent of 10.25 - 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 10.25 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 10.25, so we can write it down as 100%=10.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.25
2) x%=1.84
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%=10.25/1.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.84 is what percent of 10.25

100%/x%=10.25/1.84
(100/x)*x=(10.25/1.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.570652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.570652173913) to get x
100/5.570652173913=x
17.951219512195=x
x=17.951219512195

now we have:
1.84 is 17.951219512195% of 10.25
