36.14 is what percent of 201.32 - 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 201.32 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 201.32, so we can write it down as 100%=201.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 36.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=201.32
2) x%=36.14
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%=201.32/36.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36.14 is what percent of 201.32

100%/x%=201.32/36.14
(100/x)*x=(201.32/36.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.5705589374654*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.5705589374654) to get x
100/5.5705589374654=x
17.95151996821=x
x=17.95151996821

now we have:
36.14 is 17.95151996821% of 201.32
