1.35 is what percent of 15.54 - 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 15.54 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 15.54, so we can write it down as 100%=15.54.
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%=15.54
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%=15.54/1.35
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 15.54

100%/x%=15.54/1.35
(100/x)*x=(15.54/1.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.511111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.511111111111) to get x
100/11.511111111111=x
8.6872586872587=x
x=8.6872586872587

now we have:
1.35 is 8.6872586872587% of 15.54
