18.62 is what percent of 210.334 - 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 210.334 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 210.334, so we can write it down as 100%=210.334.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=210.334
2) x%=18.62
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%=210.334/18.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.62 is what percent of 210.334

100%/x%=210.334/18.62
(100/x)*x=(210.334/18.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.296133190118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.296133190118) to get x
100/11.296133190118=x
8.8525868380766=x
x=8.8525868380766

now we have:
