238.4 is what percent of 1806 - 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 1806 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 1806, so we can write it down as 100%=1806.
4. We know, that x% equals 238.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=238.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1806
2) x%=238.4
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%=1806/238.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 238.4 is what percent of 1806

100%/x%=1806/238.4
(100/x)*x=(1806/238.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5755033557047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5755033557047) to get x
100/7.5755033557047=x
13.200442967885=x
x=13.200442967885

now we have:
238.4 is 13.200442967885% of 1806
