13.37 is what percent of 34 - 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 34 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 34, so we can write it down as 100%=34.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34
2) x%=13.37
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%=34/13.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.37 is what percent of 34

100%/x%=34/13.37
(100/x)*x=(34/13.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5430067314884*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5430067314884) to get x
100/2.5430067314884=x
39.323529411765=x
x=39.323529411765

now we have:
13.37 is 39.323529411765% of 34
