13140.33 is what percent of 31800 - 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 31800 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 31800, so we can write it down as 100%=31800.
4. We know, that x% equals 13140.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13140.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31800
2) x%=13140.33
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%=31800/13140.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13140.33 is what percent of 31800

100%/x%=31800/13140.33
(100/x)*x=(31800/13140.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.420030547178*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.420030547178) to get x
100/2.420030547178=x
41.32179245283=x
x=41.32179245283

now we have:
13140.33 is 41.32179245283% of 31800
