13.6 is what percent of 60.7 - 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 60.7 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 60.7, so we can write it down as 100%=60.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60.7
2) x%=13.6
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%=60.7/13.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.6 is what percent of 60.7

100%/x%=60.7/13.6
(100/x)*x=(60.7/13.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4632352941176*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4632352941176) to get x
100/4.4632352941176=x
22.405271828666=x
x=22.405271828666

now we have:
13.6 is 22.405271828666% of 60.7
