3.21 is what percent of 13.37 - 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 13.37 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 13.37, so we can write it down as 100%=13.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.37
2) x%=3.21
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%=13.37/3.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.21 is what percent of 13.37

100%/x%=13.37/3.21
(100/x)*x=(13.37/3.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1651090342679*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1651090342679) to get x
100/4.1651090342679=x
24.008975317876=x
x=24.008975317876

now we have:
3.21 is 24.008975317876% of 13.37
