2.14 is what percent of 13.19 - 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 13.19 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 13.19, so we can write it down as 100%=13.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.19
2) x%=2.14
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%=13.19/2.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.14 is what percent of 13.19

100%/x%=13.19/2.14
(100/x)*x=(13.19/2.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1635514018692*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1635514018692) to get x
100/6.1635514018692=x
16.224412433662=x
x=16.224412433662

now we have:
2.14 is 16.224412433662% of 13.19
