18.14 is what percent of 799.2 - 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 799.2 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 799.2, so we can write it down as 100%=799.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=799.2
2) x%=18.14
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%=799.2/18.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.14 is what percent of 799.2

100%/x%=799.2/18.14
(100/x)*x=(799.2/18.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.057331863286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.057331863286) to get x
100/44.057331863286=x
2.2697697697698=x
x=2.2697697697698

now we have:
18.14 is 2.2697697697698% of 799.2
