8 is what percent of 184362 - 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 184362 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 184362, so we can write it down as 100%=184362.
4. We know, that x% equals 8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=184362
2) x%=8
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%=184362/8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8 is what percent of 184362

100%/x%=184362/8
(100/x)*x=(184362/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23045.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23045.25) to get x
100/23045.25=x
0.0043392890074961=x
x=0.0043392890074961

now we have:
8 is 0.0043392890074961% of 184362
