13.32 is what percent of 21 - 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 21 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 21, so we can write it down as 100%=21.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21
2) x%=13.32
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%=21/13.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.32 is what percent of 21

100%/x%=21/13.32
(100/x)*x=(21/13.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5765765765766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5765765765766) to get x
100/1.5765765765766=x
63.428571428571=x
x=63.428571428571

now we have:
13.32 is 63.428571428571% of 21
