13.4 is what percent of 113.39 - 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 113.39 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 113.39, so we can write it down as 100%=113.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=113.39
2) x%=13.4
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%=113.39/13.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.4 is what percent of 113.39

100%/x%=113.39/13.4
(100/x)*x=(113.39/13.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.4619402985075*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.4619402985075) to get x
100/8.4619402985075=x
11.817620601464=x
x=11.817620601464

now we have:
13.4 is 11.817620601464% of 113.39
