68.35 is what percent of 1800 - 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 1800 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 1800, so we can write it down as 100%=1800.
4. We know, that x% equals 68.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1800
2) x%=68.35
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%=1800/68.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68.35 is what percent of 1800

100%/x%=1800/68.35
(100/x)*x=(1800/68.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.335040234089*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.335040234089) to get x
100/26.335040234089=x
3.7972222222222=x
x=3.7972222222222

now we have:
68.35 is 3.7972222222222% of 1800
