18.77 is what percent of 571.08 - 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 571.08 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 571.08, so we can write it down as 100%=571.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=571.08
2) x%=18.77
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%=571.08/18.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.77 is what percent of 571.08

100%/x%=571.08/18.77
(100/x)*x=(571.08/18.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.425146510389*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.425146510389) to get x
100/30.425146510389=x
3.2867549205015=x
x=3.2867549205015

now we have:
18.77 is 3.2867549205015% of 571.08
