34.05 is what percent of 13.21 - 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 13.21 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 13.21, so we can write it down as 100%=13.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.21
2) x%=34.05
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%=13.21/34.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.05 is what percent of 13.21

100%/x%=13.21/34.05
(100/x)*x=(13.21/34.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.38795888399413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.38795888399413) to get x
100/0.38795888399413=x
257.75927327782=x
x=257.75927327782

now we have:
34.05 is 257.75927327782% of 13.21
