196.9 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 196.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=196.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13500
2) x%=196.9
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%=13500/196.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 196.9 is what percent of 13500

100%/x%=13500/196.9
(100/x)*x=(13500/196.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.562722194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.562722194) to get x
100/68.562722194=x
1.45851851852=x
x=1.45851851852

now we have:
196.9 is 1.45851851852% of 13500
