12.54 is what percent of 13.06 - 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 13.06 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 13.06, so we can write it down as 100%=13.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.06
2) x%=12.54
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%=13.06/12.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.54 is what percent of 13.06

100%/x%=13.06/12.54
(100/x)*x=(13.06/12.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0414673046252*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0414673046252) to get x
100/1.0414673046252=x
96.018376722818=x
x=96.018376722818

now we have:
12.54 is 96.018376722818% of 13.06
