What is 100 percent of 18.502 - 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 18.502 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 18.502 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.502=100%.
4. We know, that x is 100% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=100%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.502=100%
2) x=100%
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:
18.502/x=100%/100%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 100% of 18.502

18.502/x=100/100
(18.502/x)*x=(100/100)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.502=1*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1) to get x
18.502/1=x
18.502=x
x=18.502

now we have:
100% of 18.502=18.502
