1152.23 is what percent of 1850 - 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 1850 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 1850, so we can write it down as 100%=1850.
4. We know, that x% equals 1152.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1152.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1850
2) x%=1152.23
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%=1850/1152.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1152.23 is what percent of 1850

100%/x%=1850/1152.23
(100/x)*x=(1850/1152.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6055822188278*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6055822188278) to get x
100/1.6055822188278=x
62.282702702703=x
x=62.282702702703

now we have:
1152.23 is 62.282702702703% of 1850
