82 is what percent of 20366 - 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 20366 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 20366, so we can write it down as 100%=20366.
4. We know, that x% equals 82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20366
2) x%=82
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%=20366/82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82 is what percent of 20366

100%/x%=20366/82
(100/x)*x=(20366/82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=248.36585365854*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (248.36585365854) to get x
100/248.36585365854=x
0.40263183737602=x
x=0.40263183737602

now we have:
82 is 0.40263183737602% of 20366
