13.27 is what percent of 143.238 - 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 143.238 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 143.238, so we can write it down as 100%=143.238.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=143.238
2) x%=13.27
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%=143.238/13.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.27 is what percent of 143.238

100%/x%=143.238/13.27
(100/x)*x=(143.238/13.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.794122079879*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.794122079879) to get x
100/10.794122079879=x
9.2643013725408=x
x=9.2643013725408

now we have:
13.27 is 9.2643013725408% of 143.238
