1.47 is what percent of 21.27 - 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 21.27 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 21.27, so we can write it down as 100%=21.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21.27
2) x%=1.47
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%=21.27/1.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.47 is what percent of 21.27

100%/x%=21.27/1.47
(100/x)*x=(21.27/1.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.469387755102*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.469387755102) to get x
100/14.469387755102=x
6.9111424541608=x
x=6.9111424541608

now we have:
1.47 is 6.9111424541608% of 21.27
