5677.7 is what percent of 18048 - 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 18048 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 18048, so we can write it down as 100%=18048.
4. We know, that x% equals 5677.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5677.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18048
2) x%=5677.7
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%=18048/5677.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5677.7 is what percent of 18048

100%/x%=18048/5677.7
(100/x)*x=(18048/5677.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1787519594202*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1787519594202) to get x
100/3.1787519594202=x
31.458887411348=x
x=31.458887411348

now we have:
