18.35 is what percent of 239.8 - 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 239.8 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 239.8, so we can write it down as 100%=239.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=239.8
2) x%=18.35
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%=239.8/18.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.35 is what percent of 239.8

100%/x%=239.8/18.35
(100/x)*x=(239.8/18.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.068119891008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.068119891008) to get x
100/13.068119891008=x
7.652210175146=x
x=7.652210175146

now we have:
18.35 is 7.652210175146% of 239.8
