13 is what percent of 622 - 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 622 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 622, so we can write it down as 100%=622.
4. We know, that x% equals 13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=622
2) x%=13
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%=622/13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13 is what percent of 622

100%/x%=622/13
(100/x)*x=(622/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.846153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.846153846154) to get x
100/47.846153846154=x
2.0900321543408=x
x=2.0900321543408

now we have:
13 is 2.0900321543408% of 622
