180.63 is what percent of 2007 - 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 2007 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 2007, so we can write it down as 100%=2007.
4. We know, that x% equals 180.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=180.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2007
2) x%=180.63
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%=2007/180.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 180.63 is what percent of 2007

100%/x%=2007/180.63
(100/x)*x=(2007/180.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111111111111) to get x
100/11.111111111111=x
9=x
x=9

now we have:
180.63 is 9% of 2007
