13.95 is what percent of 28 - 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 28 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 28, so we can write it down as 100%=28.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28
2) x%=13.95
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%=28/13.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.95 is what percent of 28

100%/x%=28/13.95
(100/x)*x=(28/13.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0071684587814*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0071684587814) to get x
100/2.0071684587814=x
49.821428571429=x
x=49.821428571429

now we have:
13.95 is 49.821428571429% of 28
