18.07 is what percent of 114.84 - 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 114.84 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 114.84, so we can write it down as 100%=114.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=114.84
2) x%=18.07
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%=114.84/18.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.07 is what percent of 114.84

100%/x%=114.84/18.07
(100/x)*x=(114.84/18.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.355285002767*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.355285002767) to get x
100/6.355285002767=x
15.734935562522=x
x=15.734935562522

now we have:
18.07 is 15.734935562522% of 114.84
