12.97 is what percent of 90.97 - 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 90.97 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 90.97, so we can write it down as 100%=90.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=90.97
2) x%=12.97
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%=90.97/12.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.97 is what percent of 90.97

100%/x%=90.97/12.97
(100/x)*x=(90.97/12.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.0138781804163*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0138781804163) to get x
100/7.0138781804163=x
14.257447510168=x
x=14.257447510168

now we have:
12.97 is 14.257447510168% of 90.97
