1.84 is what percent of 19.99 - 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 19.99 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 19.99, so we can write it down as 100%=19.99.
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%=19.99
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%=19.99/1.84
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 19.99

100%/x%=19.99/1.84
(100/x)*x=(19.99/1.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.864130434783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.864130434783) to get x
100/10.864130434783=x
9.2046023011506=x
x=9.2046023011506

now we have:
1.84 is 9.2046023011506% of 19.99
