18.6 is what percent of 107300 - 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 107300 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 107300, so we can write it down as 100%=107300.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=107300
2) x%=18.6
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%=107300/18.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.6 is what percent of 107300

100%/x%=107300/18.6
(100/x)*x=(107300/18.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5768.8172043011*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5768.8172043011) to get x
100/5768.8172043011=x
0.017334575955266=x
x=0.017334575955266

now we have:
18.6 is 0.017334575955266% of 107300
