491.18 is what percent of 13.33 - 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 13.33 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 13.33, so we can write it down as 100%=13.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 491.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=491.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.33
2) x%=491.18
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%=13.33/491.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 491.18 is what percent of 13.33

100%/x%=13.33/491.18
(100/x)*x=(13.33/491.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.027138727146871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.027138727146871) to get x
100/0.027138727146871=x
3684.7711927982=x
x=3684.7711927982

now we have:
491.18 is 3684.7711927982% of 13.33
