118.18 is what percent of 329.16 - 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 329.16 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 329.16, so we can write it down as 100%=329.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 118.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=118.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=329.16
2) x%=118.18
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%=329.16/118.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 118.18 is what percent of 329.16

100%/x%=329.16/118.18
(100/x)*x=(329.16/118.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.78524284989*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.78524284989) to get x
100/2.78524284989=x
35.903511969863=x
x=35.903511969863

now we have:
118.18 is 35.903511969863% of 329.16
