12.83 is what percent of 135 - 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 135 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 135, so we can write it down as 100%=135.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=135
2) x%=12.83
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%=135/12.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.83 is what percent of 135

100%/x%=135/12.83
(100/x)*x=(135/12.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.522213561964*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.522213561964) to get x
100/10.522213561964=x
9.5037037037037=x
x=9.5037037037037

now we have:
12.83 is 9.5037037037037% of 135
