13.3 is what percent of 14.2 - 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 14.2 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 14.2, so we can write it down as 100%=14.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.2
2) x%=13.3
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%=14.2/13.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.3 is what percent of 14.2

100%/x%=14.2/13.3
(100/x)*x=(14.2/13.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0676691729323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0676691729323) to get x
100/1.0676691729323=x
93.661971830986=x
x=93.661971830986

now we have:
13.3 is 93.661971830986% of 14.2
