13482.6 is what percent of 15353 - 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 15353 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 15353, so we can write it down as 100%=15353.
4. We know, that x% equals 13482.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13482.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15353
2) x%=13482.6
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%=15353/13482.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13482.6 is what percent of 15353

100%/x%=15353/13482.6
(100/x)*x=(15353/13482.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
