3.19 is what percent of 0.18 - 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 0.18 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 0.18, so we can write it down as 100%=0.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.18
2) x%=3.19
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%=0.18/3.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.19 is what percent of 0.18

100%/x%=0.18/3.19
(100/x)*x=(0.18/3.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.056426332288401*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.056426332288401) to get x
100/0.056426332288401=x
1772.2222222222=x
x=1772.2222222222

now we have:
3.19 is 1772.2222222222% of 0.18
