18.27 is what percent of 7306.9 - 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 7306.9 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 7306.9, so we can write it down as 100%=7306.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7306.9
2) x%=18.27
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%=7306.9/18.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.27 is what percent of 7306.9

100%/x%=7306.9/18.27
(100/x)*x=(7306.9/18.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=399.93979200876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (399.93979200876) to get x
100/399.93979200876=x
0.25003763565945=x
x=0.25003763565945

now we have:
