0.13 is what percent of 149 - 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 149 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 149, so we can write it down as 100%=149.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=149
2) x%=0.13
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%=149/0.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.13 is what percent of 149

100%/x%=149/0.13
(100/x)*x=(149/0.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1146.1538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1146.1538461538) to get x
100/1146.1538461538=x
0.087248322147651=x
x=0.087248322147651

now we have:
0.13 is 0.087248322147651% of 149
