366.9 is what percent of 1947.1 - 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 1947.1 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 1947.1, so we can write it down as 100%=1947.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 366.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=366.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1947.1
2) x%=366.9
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%=1947.1/366.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 366.9 is what percent of 1947.1

100%/x%=1947.1/366.9
(100/x)*x=(1947.1/366.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3068956118833*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3068956118833) to get x
100/5.3068956118833=x
18.843408145447=x
x=18.843408145447

now we have:
366.9 is 18.843408145447% of 1947.1
