185.18 is what percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000, so we can write it down as 100%=1000.
4. We know, that x% equals 185.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=185.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1000
2) x%=185.18
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%=1000/185.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 185.18 is what percent of 1000

100%/x%=1000/185.18
(100/x)*x=(1000/185.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4001512042337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4001512042337) to get x
100/5.4001512042337=x
18.518=x
x=18.518

now we have:
185.18 is 18.518% of 1000
