13.43 is what percent of 6.8 - 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 6.8 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 6.8, so we can write it down as 100%=6.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.8
2) x%=13.43
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%=6.8/13.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.43 is what percent of 6.8

100%/x%=6.8/13.43
(100/x)*x=(6.8/13.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.50632911392405*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.50632911392405) to get x
100/0.50632911392405=x
197.5=x
x=197.5

now we have:
13.43 is 197.5% of 6.8
