2.26 is what percent of 16.74 - 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 16.74 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 16.74, so we can write it down as 100%=16.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.74
2) x%=2.26
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%=16.74/2.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.26 is what percent of 16.74

100%/x%=16.74/2.26
(100/x)*x=(16.74/2.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4070796460177*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4070796460177) to get x
100/7.4070796460177=x
13.500597371565=x
x=13.500597371565

now we have:
2.26 is 13.500597371565% of 16.74
