0.13 is what percent of 2.09 - 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 2.09 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 2.09, so we can write it down as 100%=2.09.
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%=2.09
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%=2.09/0.13
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 2.09

100%/x%=2.09/0.13
(100/x)*x=(2.09/0.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.076923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.076923076923) to get x
100/16.076923076923=x
6.2200956937799=x
x=6.2200956937799

now we have:
0.13 is 6.2200956937799% of 2.09
