17.8 is what percent of 76.13 - 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 76.13 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 76.13, so we can write it down as 100%=76.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=76.13
2) x%=17.8
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%=76.13/17.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.8 is what percent of 76.13

100%/x%=76.13/17.8
(100/x)*x=(76.13/17.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2769662921348*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2769662921348) to get x
100/4.2769662921348=x
23.381058715355=x
x=23.381058715355

now we have:
17.8 is 23.381058715355% of 76.13
