180.33 is what percent of 38 - 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 38 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 38, so we can write it down as 100%=38.
4. We know, that x% equals 180.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=180.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38
2) x%=180.33
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%=38/180.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 180.33 is what percent of 38

100%/x%=38/180.33
(100/x)*x=(38/180.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.21072478234348*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.21072478234348) to get x
100/0.21072478234348=x
474.55263157895=x
x=474.55263157895

now we have:
180.33 is 474.55263157895% of 38
