183.56 is what percent of 1429.18 - 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 1429.18 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 1429.18, so we can write it down as 100%=1429.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 183.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=183.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1429.18
2) x%=183.56
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%=1429.18/183.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 183.56 is what percent of 1429.18

100%/x%=1429.18/183.56
(100/x)*x=(1429.18/183.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.7859010677708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.7859010677708) to get x
100/7.7859010677708=x
12.843728571628=x
x=12.843728571628

now we have:
