2.91 is what percent of 2.13 - 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 2.13 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 2.13, so we can write it down as 100%=2.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.13
2) x%=2.91
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%=2.13/2.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.91 is what percent of 2.13

100%/x%=2.13/2.91
(100/x)*x=(2.13/2.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.7319587628866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.7319587628866) to get x
100/0.7319587628866=x
136.61971830986=x
x=136.61971830986

now we have:
2.91 is 136.61971830986% of 2.13
