What is 380 percent of 18.2 - 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 18.2 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 18.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 380% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=380%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.2=100%
2) x=380%
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:
18.2/x=100%/380%
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 380% of 18.2

18.2/x=100/380
(18.2/x)*x=(100/380)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.2=0.26315789473684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.26315789473684) to get x
18.2/0.26315789473684=x
69.16=x
x=69.16

now we have:
380% of 18.2=69.16
