43 is what percent of 18928 - 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 18928 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 18928, so we can write it down as 100%=18928.
4. We know, that x% equals 43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18928
2) x%=43
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%=18928/43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43 is what percent of 18928

100%/x%=18928/43
(100/x)*x=(18928/43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=440.18604651163*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (440.18604651163) to get x
100/440.18604651163=x
0.22717666948436=x
x=0.22717666948436

now we have:
