130.18 is what percent of 1215 - 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 1215 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 1215, so we can write it down as 100%=1215.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1215
2) x%=130.18
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%=1215/130.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.18 is what percent of 1215

100%/x%=1215/130.18
(100/x)*x=(1215/130.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.3332309110462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.3332309110462) to get x
100/9.3332309110462=x
10.714403292181=x
x=10.714403292181

now we have:
130.18 is 10.714403292181% of 1215
