13.58 is what percent of 702.85 - 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 702.85 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 702.85, so we can write it down as 100%=702.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=702.85
2) x%=13.58
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%=702.85/13.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.58 is what percent of 702.85

100%/x%=702.85/13.58
(100/x)*x=(702.85/13.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=51.756259204713*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (51.756259204713) to get x
100/51.756259204713=x
1.9321334566408=x
x=1.9321334566408

now we have:
13.58 is 1.9321334566408% of 702.85
