13.74 is what percent of 150.45 - 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 150.45 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 150.45, so we can write it down as 100%=150.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=150.45
2) x%=13.74
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%=150.45/13.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.74 is what percent of 150.45

100%/x%=150.45/13.74
(100/x)*x=(150.45/13.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.949781659389*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.949781659389) to get x
100/10.949781659389=x
9.1326021934197=x
x=9.1326021934197

now we have:
13.74 is 9.1326021934197% of 150.45
