13.19 is what percent of 18.68 - 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 18.68 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 18.68, so we can write it down as 100%=18.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18.68
2) x%=13.19
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%=18.68/13.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.19 is what percent of 18.68

100%/x%=18.68/13.19
(100/x)*x=(18.68/13.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4162244124337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4162244124337) to get x
100/1.4162244124337=x
70.610278372591=x
x=70.610278372591

now we have:
13.19 is 70.610278372591% of 18.68
