2.79 is what percent of 13137 - 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 13137 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 13137, so we can write it down as 100%=13137.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13137
2) x%=2.79
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%=13137/2.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.79 is what percent of 13137

100%/x%=13137/2.79
(100/x)*x=(13137/2.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4708.6021505376*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4708.6021505376) to get x
100/4708.6021505376=x
0.021237725508107=x
x=0.021237725508107

now we have:
2.79 is 0.021237725508107% of 13137
