18.02 is what percent of 1541.43 - 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 1541.43 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 1541.43, so we can write it down as 100%=1541.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1541.43
2) x%=18.02
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%=1541.43/18.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.02 is what percent of 1541.43

100%/x%=1541.43/18.02
(100/x)*x=(1541.43/18.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=85.539955604883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (85.539955604883) to get x
100/85.539955604883=x
1.1690443289673=x
x=1.1690443289673

now we have:
18.02 is 1.1690443289673% of 1541.43
