2.73 is what percent of 20.69 - 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 20.69 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 20.69, so we can write it down as 100%=20.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20.69
2) x%=2.73
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%=20.69/2.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.73 is what percent of 20.69

100%/x%=20.69/2.73
(100/x)*x=(20.69/2.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.5787545787546*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5787545787546) to get x
100/7.5787545787546=x
13.194780086999=x
x=13.194780086999

now we have:
2.73 is 13.194780086999% of 20.69
