19.8 is what percent of 18.43 - 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 18.43 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 18.43, so we can write it down as 100%=18.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 19.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=19.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.43
2) x%=19.8
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%=18.43/19.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 19.8 is what percent of 18.43

100%/x%=18.43/19.8
(100/x)*x=(18.43/19.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93080808080808*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93080808080808) to get x
100/0.93080808080808=x
107.43353228432=x
x=107.43353228432

now we have:
19.8 is 107.43353228432% of 18.43
