What is 134.29 percent of 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 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 18 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18=100%.
4. We know, that x is 134.29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=134.29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18=100%
2) x=134.29%
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/x=100%/134.29%
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 134.29% of 18

18/x=100/134.29
(18/x)*x=(100/134.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18=0.74465708541217*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.74465708541217) to get x
18/0.74465708541217=x
24.1722=x
x=24.1722

now we have:
134.29% of 18=24.1722
