3.75 is what percent of 18.43 - 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 18.43 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 18.43, so we can write it down as 100%=18.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.43
2) x%=3.75
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%=18.43/3.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.75 is what percent of 18.43

100%/x%=18.43/3.75
(100/x)*x=(18.43/3.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9146666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9146666666667) to get x
100/4.9146666666667=x
20.347259902333=x
x=20.347259902333

now we have:
3.75 is 20.347259902333% of 18.43
