8255.7 is what percent of 13701.5 - 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 13701.5 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 13701.5, so we can write it down as 100%=13701.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 8255.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8255.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13701.5
2) x%=8255.7
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%=13701.5/8255.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8255.7 is what percent of 13701.5

100%/x%=13701.5/8255.7
(100/x)*x=(13701.5/8255.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.659641217583*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.659641217583) to get x
100/1.659641217583=x
60.253986789768=x
x=60.253986789768

now we have:
