1.5 is what percent of 13.52 - 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 13.52 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 13.52, so we can write it down as 100%=13.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.52
2) x%=1.5
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%=13.52/1.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.5 is what percent of 13.52

100%/x%=13.52/1.5
(100/x)*x=(13.52/1.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.0133333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.0133333333333) to get x
100/9.0133333333333=x
11.094674556213=x
x=11.094674556213

now we have:
1.5 is 11.094674556213% of 13.52
