243.6 is what percent of 1840500 - 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 1840500 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 1840500, so we can write it down as 100%=1840500.
4. We know, that x% equals 243.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=243.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1840500
2) x%=243.6
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%=1840500/243.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 243.6 is what percent of 1840500

100%/x%=1840500/243.6
(100/x)*x=(1840500/243.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7555.4187192118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7555.4187192118) to get x
100/7555.4187192118=x
0.013235533822331=x
x=0.013235533822331

now we have:
