315.12 is what percent of 1854.04 - 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 1854.04 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 1854.04, so we can write it down as 100%=1854.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 315.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=315.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1854.04
2) x%=315.12
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%=1854.04/315.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 315.12 is what percent of 1854.04

100%/x%=1854.04/315.12
(100/x)*x=(1854.04/315.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8835998984514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8835998984514) to get x
100/5.8835998984514=x
16.996397057237=x
x=16.996397057237

now we have:
315.12 is 16.996397057237% of 1854.04
