18 is what percent of 28114 - 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 28114 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 28114, so we can write it down as 100%=28114.
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%=28114
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%=28114/18
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 28114

100%/x%=28114/18
(100/x)*x=(28114/18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1561.8888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1561.8888888889) to get x
100/1561.8888888889=x
0.064025040904887=x
x=0.064025040904887

now we have:
18 is 0.064025040904887% of 28114
