1184.4 is what percent of 15796.8 - 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 15796.8 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 15796.8, so we can write it down as 100%=15796.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 1184.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1184.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15796.8
2) x%=1184.4
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%=15796.8/1184.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1184.4 is what percent of 15796.8

(100/x)*x=(15796.8/1184.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.337386018237*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.337386018237) to get x
100/13.337386018237=x
7.4977210574294=x
x=7.4977210574294

now we have:
