2.49 is what percent of 0.13 - 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 0.13 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 0.13, so we can write it down as 100%=0.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.13
2) x%=2.49
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%=0.13/2.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.49 is what percent of 0.13

100%/x%=0.13/2.49
(100/x)*x=(0.13/2.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.052208835341365*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.052208835341365) to get x
100/0.052208835341365=x
1915.3846153846=x
x=1915.3846153846

now we have:
2.49 is 1915.3846153846% of 0.13
