1.84 is what percent of 2.21 - 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 2.21 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 2.21, so we can write it down as 100%=2.21.
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%=2.21
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%=2.21/1.84
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 2.21

100%/x%=2.21/1.84
(100/x)*x=(2.21/1.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2010869565217*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2010869565217) to get x
100/1.2010869565217=x
83.257918552036=x
x=83.257918552036

now we have:
1.84 is 83.257918552036% of 2.21
