17.94 is what percent of 1240.69 - 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 1240.69 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 1240.69, so we can write it down as 100%=1240.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1240.69
2) x%=17.94
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%=1240.69/17.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.94 is what percent of 1240.69

100%/x%=1240.69/17.94
(100/x)*x=(1240.69/17.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=69.157748049052*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.157748049052) to get x
100/69.157748049052=x
1.4459695814426=x
x=1.4459695814426

now we have:
