8.18 is what percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100, so we can write it down as 100%=100.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100
2) x%=8.18
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%=100/8.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.18 is what percent of 100

100%/x%=100/8.18
(100/x)*x=(100/8.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.224938875306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.224938875306) to get x
100/12.224938875306=x
8.18=x
x=8.18

now we have:
8.18 is 8.18% of 100
