18.13 is what percent of 43.454 - 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 43.454 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 43.454, so we can write it down as 100%=43.454.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=43.454
2) x%=18.13
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%=43.454/18.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.13 is what percent of 43.454

100%/x%=43.454/18.13
(100/x)*x=(43.454/18.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3968008825152*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3968008825152) to get x
100/2.3968008825152=x
41.722281032816=x
x=41.722281032816

now we have:
18.13 is 41.722281032816% of 43.454
