0.48 is what percent of 13.5 - 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 13.5 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 13.5, so we can write it down as 100%=13.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.5
2) x%=0.48
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%=13.5/0.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.48 is what percent of 13.5

100%/x%=13.5/0.48
(100/x)*x=(13.5/0.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28.125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.125) to get x
100/28.125=x
3.5555555555556=x
x=3.5555555555556

now we have:
0.48 is 3.5555555555556% of 13.5
