17.6 is what percent of 18.15 - 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 18.15 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 18.15, so we can write it down as 100%=18.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.15
2) x%=17.6
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%=18.15/17.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.6 is what percent of 18.15

100%/x%=18.15/17.6
(100/x)*x=(18.15/17.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.03125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.03125) to get x
100/1.03125=x
96.969696969697=x
x=96.969696969697

now we have:
17.6 is 96.969696969697% of 18.15
