18.26 is what percent of 176200 - 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 176200 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 176200, so we can write it down as 100%=176200.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=176200
2) x%=18.26
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%=176200/18.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.26 is what percent of 176200

100%/x%=176200/18.26
(100/x)*x=(176200/18.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9649.5071193866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9649.5071193866) to get x
100/9649.5071193866=x
0.010363223609535=x
x=0.010363223609535

now we have:
