13.3 is what percent of 18.089 - 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 18.089 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 18.089, so we can write it down as 100%=18.089.
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%=18.089
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%=18.089/13.3
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 18.089

100%/x%=18.089/13.3
(100/x)*x=(18.089/13.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3600751879699*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3600751879699) to get x
100/1.3600751879699=x
73.525346895904=x
x=73.525346895904

now we have:
13.3 is 73.525346895904% of 18.089
