69 is what percent of 13500 - 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 13500 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 13500, so we can write it down as 100%=13500.
4. We know, that x% equals 69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13500
2) x%=69
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%=13500/69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 69 is what percent of 13500

100%/x%=13500/69
(100/x)*x=(13500/69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=195.65217391304*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (195.65217391304) to get x
100/195.65217391304=x
0.51111111111111=x
x=0.51111111111111

now we have:
69 is 0.51111111111111% of 13500
