13488.02 is what percent of 13500 - 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 13500 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 13500, so we can write it down as 100%=13500.
4. We know, that x% equals 13488.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13488.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13500
2) x%=13488.02
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%=13500/13488.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13488.02 is what percent of 13500

100%/x%=13500/13488.02
(100/x)*x=(13500/13488.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0008881955988*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0008881955988) to get x
100/1.0008881955988=x
99.911259259259=x
x=99.911259259259

now we have:
13488.02 is 99.911259259259% of 13500
