23.67 is what percent of 226 - 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 226 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 226, so we can write it down as 100%=226.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=226
2) x%=23.67
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%=226/23.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.67 is what percent of 226

100%/x%=226/23.67
(100/x)*x=(226/23.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.5479509928179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5479509928179) to get x
100/9.5479509928179=x
10.473451327434=x
x=10.473451327434

now we have:
23.67 is 10.473451327434% of 226
