What is 8.18 percent of 18500000 - 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 18500000 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 18500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18500000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.18% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.18%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18500000=100%
2) x=8.18%
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:
18500000/x=100%/8.18%
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 8.18% of 18500000

18500000/x=100/8.18
(18500000/x)*x=(100/8.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18500000=12.224938875306*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.224938875306) to get x
18500000/12.224938875306=x
1513300=x
x=1513300

now we have:
8.18% of 18500000=1513300
