331.47 is what percent of 184.15 - 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 184.15 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 184.15, so we can write it down as 100%=184.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 331.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=331.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=184.15
2) x%=331.47
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%=184.15/331.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 331.47 is what percent of 184.15

100%/x%=184.15/331.47
(100/x)*x=(184.15/331.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.55555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.55555555555556) to get x
100/0.55555555555556=x
180=x
x=180

now we have:
331.47 is 180% of 184.15
