17.28 is what percent of 18.06 - 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 18.06 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 18.06, so we can write it down as 100%=18.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.06
2) x%=17.28
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%=18.06/17.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.28 is what percent of 18.06

100%/x%=18.06/17.28
(100/x)*x=(18.06/17.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0451388888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0451388888889) to get x
100/1.0451388888889=x
95.681063122924=x
x=95.681063122924

now we have:
17.28 is 95.681063122924% of 18.06
