9.2 is what percent of 181.2 - 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 181.2 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 181.2, so we can write it down as 100%=181.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=181.2
2) x%=9.2
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%=181.2/9.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.2 is what percent of 181.2

100%/x%=181.2/9.2
(100/x)*x=(181.2/9.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.695652173913*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.695652173913) to get x
100/19.695652173913=x
5.0772626931567=x
x=5.0772626931567

now we have:
9.2 is 5.0772626931567% of 181.2
