18.57 is what percent of 190.77 - 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 190.77 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 190.77, so we can write it down as 100%=190.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=190.77
2) x%=18.57
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%=190.77/18.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.57 is what percent of 190.77

100%/x%=190.77/18.57
(100/x)*x=(190.77/18.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.273021001616*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.273021001616) to get x
100/10.273021001616=x
9.734234942601=x
x=9.734234942601

now we have:
18.57 is 9.734234942601% of 190.77
