What is 18.26 percent of 100000 - 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 100000 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 100000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100000=100%
2) x=18.26%
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:
100000/x=100%/18.26%
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 18.26% of 100000

100000/x=100/18.26
(100000/x)*x=(100/18.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100000=5.4764512595838*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4764512595838) to get x
100000/5.4764512595838=x
18260=x
x=18260

now we have:
18.26% of 100000=18260
