12.6 is what percent of 184.05 - 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 184.05 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 184.05, so we can write it down as 100%=184.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=184.05
2) x%=12.6
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%=184.05/12.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.6 is what percent of 184.05

100%/x%=184.05/12.6
(100/x)*x=(184.05/12.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.607142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.607142857143) to get x
100/14.607142857143=x
6.8459657701711=x
x=6.8459657701711

now we have:
12.6 is 6.8459657701711% of 184.05
