2118.48 is what percent of 120000 - 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 120000 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 120000, so we can write it down as 100%=120000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2118.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2118.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=120000
2) x%=2118.48
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%=120000/2118.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2118.48 is what percent of 120000

100%/x%=120000/2118.48
(100/x)*x=(120000/2118.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.644386541294*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.644386541294) to get x
100/56.644386541294=x
1.7654=x
x=1.7654

now we have:
2118.48 is 1.7654% of 120000
