0.68 is what percent of 13.18 - 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 13.18 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 13.18, so we can write it down as 100%=13.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.18
2) x%=0.68
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%=13.18/0.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.68 is what percent of 13.18

100%/x%=13.18/0.68
(100/x)*x=(13.18/0.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.382352941176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.382352941176) to get x
100/19.382352941176=x
5.1593323216995=x
x=5.1593323216995

now we have:
0.68 is 5.1593323216995% of 13.18
