18 is what percent of 26304 - 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 26304 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 26304, so we can write it down as 100%=26304.
4. We know, that x% equals 18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26304
2) x%=18
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%=26304/18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18 is what percent of 26304

100%/x%=26304/18
(100/x)*x=(26304/18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1461.3333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1461.3333333333) to get x
100/1461.3333333333=x
0.068430656934307=x
x=0.068430656934307

now we have:
18 is 0.068430656934307% of 26304
