13.45 is what percent of 28.45 - 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 28.45 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 28.45, so we can write it down as 100%=28.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28.45
2) x%=13.45
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%=28.45/13.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.45 is what percent of 28.45

100%/x%=28.45/13.45
(100/x)*x=(28.45/13.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1152416356877*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1152416356877) to get x
100/2.1152416356877=x
47.275922671353=x
x=47.275922671353

now we have:
13.45 is 47.275922671353% of 28.45
