13.73 is what percent of 152.49 - 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 152.49 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 152.49, so we can write it down as 100%=152.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=152.49
2) x%=13.73
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%=152.49/13.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.73 is what percent of 152.49

100%/x%=152.49/13.73
(100/x)*x=(152.49/13.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.106336489439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.106336489439) to get x
100/11.106336489439=x
9.0038691061709=x
x=9.0038691061709

now we have:
13.73 is 9.0038691061709% of 152.49
