18.29 is what percent of 24.3 - 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 24.3 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 24.3, so we can write it down as 100%=24.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.3
2) x%=18.29
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%=24.3/18.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.29 is what percent of 24.3

100%/x%=24.3/18.29
(100/x)*x=(24.3/18.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3285948605796*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3285948605796) to get x
100/1.3285948605796=x
75.267489711934=x
x=75.267489711934

now we have:
18.29 is 75.267489711934% of 24.3
