9.18 is what percent of 317.18 - 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 317.18 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 317.18, so we can write it down as 100%=317.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=317.18
2) x%=9.18
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%=317.18/9.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.18 is what percent of 317.18

100%/x%=317.18/9.18
(100/x)*x=(317.18/9.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.551198257081*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.551198257081) to get x
100/34.551198257081=x
2.8942556277193=x
x=2.8942556277193

now we have:
9.18 is 2.8942556277193% of 317.18
