181.97 is what percent of 869.85 - 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 869.85 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 869.85, so we can write it down as 100%=869.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 181.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=181.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=869.85
2) x%=181.97
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%=869.85/181.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 181.97 is what percent of 869.85

100%/x%=869.85/181.97
(100/x)*x=(869.85/181.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7801835467385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7801835467385) to get x
100/4.7801835467385=x
20.919698798643=x
x=20.919698798643

now we have:
