18.91 is what percent of 0.01 - 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 0.01 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 0.01, so we can write it down as 100%=0.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.01
2) x%=18.91
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%=0.01/18.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.91 is what percent of 0.01

100%/x%=0.01/18.91
(100/x)*x=(0.01/18.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00052882072977261*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00052882072977261) to get x
100/0.00052882072977261=x
189100=x
x=189100

now we have:
18.91 is 189100% of 0.01
