183.52 is what percent of 1183 - 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 1183 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 1183, so we can write it down as 100%=1183.
4. We know, that x% equals 183.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=183.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1183
2) x%=183.52
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%=1183/183.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 183.52 is what percent of 1183

100%/x%=1183/183.52
(100/x)*x=(1183/183.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.4461639058413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4461639058413) to get x
100/6.4461639058413=x
15.513102282333=x
x=15.513102282333

now we have:
183.52 is 15.513102282333% of 1183
