13.44 is what percent of 53.15 - 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 53.15 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 53.15, so we can write it down as 100%=53.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=53.15
2) x%=13.44
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%=53.15/13.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.44 is what percent of 53.15

100%/x%=53.15/13.44
(100/x)*x=(53.15/13.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9546130952381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9546130952381) to get x
100/3.9546130952381=x
25.286923800564=x
x=25.286923800564

now we have:
13.44 is 25.286923800564% of 53.15
