118.24 is what percent of 1360 - 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 1360 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 1360, so we can write it down as 100%=1360.
4. We know, that x% equals 118.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=118.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1360
2) x%=118.24
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%=1360/118.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 118.24 is what percent of 1360

100%/x%=1360/118.24
(100/x)*x=(1360/118.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.502029769959*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.502029769959) to get x
100/11.502029769959=x
8.6941176470588=x
x=8.6941176470588

now we have:
118.24 is 8.6941176470588% of 1360
