13.77 is what percent of 7486 - 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 7486 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 7486, so we can write it down as 100%=7486.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7486
2) x%=13.77
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%=7486/13.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.77 is what percent of 7486

100%/x%=7486/13.77
(100/x)*x=(7486/13.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=543.6456063907*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (543.6456063907) to get x
100/543.6456063907=x
0.18394336094042=x
x=0.18394336094042

now we have:
13.77 is 0.18394336094042% of 7486
