1.35 is what percent of 15.25 - 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 15.25 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 15.25, so we can write it down as 100%=15.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.25
2) x%=1.35
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%=15.25/1.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.35 is what percent of 15.25

100%/x%=15.25/1.35
(100/x)*x=(15.25/1.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.296296296296) to get x
100/11.296296296296=x
8.8524590163934=x
x=8.8524590163934

now we have:
1.35 is 8.8524590163934% of 15.25
