13269.4 is what percent of 62400 - 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 62400 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 62400, so we can write it down as 100%=62400.
4. We know, that x% equals 13269.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13269.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62400
2) x%=13269.4
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%=62400/13269.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13269.4 is what percent of 62400

100%/x%=62400/13269.4
(100/x)*x=(62400/13269.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7025487211178*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7025487211178) to get x
100/4.7025487211178=x
21.265064102564=x
x=21.265064102564

now we have:
