13.52 is what percent of 18 - 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 18 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 18, so we can write it down as 100%=18.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18
2) x%=13.52
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%=18/13.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.52 is what percent of 18

100%/x%=18/13.52
(100/x)*x=(18/13.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3313609467456*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3313609467456) to get x
100/1.3313609467456=x
75.111111111111=x
x=75.111111111111

now we have:
13.52 is 75.111111111111% of 18
