1.84 is what percent of 18.74 - 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 18.74 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 18.74, so we can write it down as 100%=18.74.
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%=18.74
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%=18.74/1.84
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 18.74

100%/x%=18.74/1.84
(100/x)*x=(18.74/1.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.184782608696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.184782608696) to get x
100/10.184782608696=x
9.8185699039488=x
x=9.8185699039488

now we have:
1.84 is 9.8185699039488% of 18.74
