18.68 is what percent of 14365.6 - 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 14365.6 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 14365.6, so we can write it down as 100%=14365.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14365.6
2) x%=18.68
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%=14365.6/18.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.68 is what percent of 14365.6

100%/x%=14365.6/18.68
(100/x)*x=(14365.6/18.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=769.03640256959*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (769.03640256959) to get x
100/769.03640256959=x
0.13003285626775=x
x=0.13003285626775

now we have:
