6.35 is what percent of 13.75 - 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 13.75 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 13.75, so we can write it down as 100%=13.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.75
2) x%=6.35
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%=13.75/6.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.35 is what percent of 13.75

100%/x%=13.75/6.35
(100/x)*x=(13.75/6.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1653543307087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1653543307087) to get x
100/2.1653543307087=x
46.181818181818=x
x=46.181818181818

now we have:
6.35 is 46.181818181818% of 13.75
