18 is what percent of 7728 - 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 7728 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 7728, so we can write it down as 100%=7728.
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%=7728
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%=7728/18
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 7728

100%/x%=7728/18
(100/x)*x=(7728/18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=429.33333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (429.33333333333) to get x
100/429.33333333333=x
0.23291925465839=x
x=0.23291925465839

now we have:
18 is 0.23291925465839% of 7728
