31.2 is what percent of 184.1 - 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 184.1 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 184.1, so we can write it down as 100%=184.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 31.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=31.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=184.1
2) x%=31.2
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%=184.1/31.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31.2 is what percent of 184.1

100%/x%=184.1/31.2
(100/x)*x=(184.1/31.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.900641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.900641025641) to get x
100/5.900641025641=x
16.947311243889=x
x=16.947311243889

now we have:
31.2 is 16.947311243889% of 184.1
