1.34 is what percent of 16.25 - 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 16.25 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 16.25, so we can write it down as 100%=16.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.25
2) x%=1.34
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%=16.25/1.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.34 is what percent of 16.25

100%/x%=16.25/1.34
(100/x)*x=(16.25/1.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.126865671642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.126865671642) to get x
100/12.126865671642=x
8.2461538461538=x
x=8.2461538461538

now we have:
1.34 is 8.2461538461538% of 16.25
