13042.1 is what percent of 59540 - 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 59540 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 59540, so we can write it down as 100%=59540.
4. We know, that x% equals 13042.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13042.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59540
2) x%=13042.1
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%=59540/13042.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13042.1 is what percent of 59540

100%/x%=59540/13042.1
(100/x)*x=(59540/13042.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5652157244616*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5652157244616) to get x
100/4.5652157244616=x
21.904769902586=x
x=21.904769902586

now we have:
13042.1 is 21.904769902586% of 59540
