18.92 is what percent of 73 - 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 73 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 73, so we can write it down as 100%=73.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73
2) x%=18.92
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%=73/18.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.92 is what percent of 73

100%/x%=73/18.92
(100/x)*x=(73/18.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8583509513742*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8583509513742) to get x
100/3.8583509513742=x
25.917808219178=x
x=25.917808219178

now we have:
18.92 is 25.917808219178% of 73
