18 is what percent of 93000 - 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 93000 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 93000, so we can write it down as 100%=93000.
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%=93000
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%=93000/18
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 93000

100%/x%=93000/18
(100/x)*x=(93000/18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5166.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5166.6666666667) to get x
100/5166.6666666667=x
0.019354838709677=x
x=0.019354838709677

now we have:
18 is 0.019354838709677% of 93000
