187.11 is what percent of 1402.26 - 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 1402.26 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 100% equals 1402.26, so we can write it down as 100%=1402.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 187.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=187.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1402.26
2) x%=187.11
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:
100%/x%=1402.26/187.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 187.11 is what percent of 1402.26

100%/x%=1402.26/187.11
(100/x)*x=(1402.26/187.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4943081609748*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4943081609748) to get x
100/7.4943081609748=x
13.343459843396=x
x=13.343459843396

now we have:
187.11 is 13.343459843396% of 1402.26
