1242.08 is what percent of 18424 - 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 18424 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 18424, so we can write it down as 100%=18424.
4. We know, that x% equals 1242.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1242.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18424
2) x%=1242.08
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%=18424/1242.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1242.08 is what percent of 18424

100%/x%=18424/1242.08
(100/x)*x=(18424/1242.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.833183047791*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.833183047791) to get x
100/14.833183047791=x
6.741641337386=x
x=6.741641337386

now we have:
