8.18 is what percent of 341 - 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 341 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 341, so we can write it down as 100%=341.
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%=341
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%=341/8.18
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 341

100%/x%=341/8.18
(100/x)*x=(341/8.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41.687041564792*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.687041564792) to get x
100/41.687041564792=x
2.3988269794721=x
x=2.3988269794721

now we have:
8.18 is 2.3988269794721% of 341
