27.18 is what percent of 121.18 - 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 121.18 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 121.18, so we can write it down as 100%=121.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=121.18
2) x%=27.18
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%=121.18/27.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.18 is what percent of 121.18

100%/x%=121.18/27.18
(100/x)*x=(121.18/27.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4584253127299*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4584253127299) to get x
100/4.4584253127299=x
22.429443802608=x
x=22.429443802608

now we have:
27.18 is 22.429443802608% of 121.18
