360.2 is what percent of 1868.97 - 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 1868.97 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 1868.97, so we can write it down as 100%=1868.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 360.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=360.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1868.97
2) x%=360.2
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%=1868.97/360.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 360.2 is what percent of 1868.97

100%/x%=1868.97/360.2
(100/x)*x=(1868.97/360.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1887007218212*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1887007218212) to get x
100/5.1887007218212=x
19.27264750103=x
x=19.27264750103

now we have:
360.2 is 19.27264750103% of 1868.97
