1.85 is what percent of 2.14 - 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 2.14 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 2.14, so we can write it down as 100%=2.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.14
2) x%=1.85
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%=2.14/1.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.85 is what percent of 2.14

100%/x%=2.14/1.85
(100/x)*x=(2.14/1.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1567567567568*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1567567567568) to get x
100/1.1567567567568=x
86.448598130841=x
x=86.448598130841

now we have:
1.85 is 86.448598130841% of 2.14
