131.3 is what percent of 113.3 - 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 113.3 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 113.3, so we can write it down as 100%=113.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 131.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=131.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=113.3
2) x%=131.3
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%=113.3/131.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 131.3 is what percent of 113.3

100%/x%=113.3/131.3
(100/x)*x=(113.3/131.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.86290936785986*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.86290936785986) to get x
100/0.86290936785986=x
115.88702559576=x
x=115.88702559576

now we have:
131.3 is 115.88702559576% of 113.3
