8.2 is what percent of 36.3 - 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 36.3 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 36.3, so we can write it down as 100%=36.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.3
2) x%=8.2
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%=36.3/8.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.2 is what percent of 36.3

100%/x%=36.3/8.2
(100/x)*x=(36.3/8.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4268292682927*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4268292682927) to get x
100/4.4268292682927=x
22.589531680441=x
x=22.589531680441

now we have:
8.2 is 22.589531680441% of 36.3
