18.03 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=18.03
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%=5/18.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.03 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/18.03
(100/x)*x=(5/18.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.27731558513588*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.27731558513588) to get x
100/0.27731558513588=x
360.6=x
x=360.6

now we have:
18.03 is 360.6% of 5
