2.97 is what percent of 13.79 - 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 13.79 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 13.79, so we can write it down as 100%=13.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.79
2) x%=2.97
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%=13.79/2.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.97 is what percent of 13.79

100%/x%=13.79/2.97
(100/x)*x=(13.79/2.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6430976430976*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6430976430976) to get x
100/4.6430976430976=x
21.537345902828=x
x=21.537345902828

now we have:
2.97 is 21.537345902828% of 13.79
