1.85 is what percent of 13.39 - 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 13.39 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 13.39, so we can write it down as 100%=13.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.39
2) x%=1.85
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%=13.39/1.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.85 is what percent of 13.39

100%/x%=13.39/1.85
(100/x)*x=(13.39/1.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2378378378378*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2378378378378) to get x
100/7.2378378378378=x
13.816280806572=x
x=13.816280806572

now we have:
1.85 is 13.816280806572% of 13.39
