9 is what percent of 13.12 - 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 13.12 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 13.12, so we can write it down as 100%=13.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.12
2) x%=9
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%=13.12/9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9 is what percent of 13.12

100%/x%=13.12/9
(100/x)*x=(13.12/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4577777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4577777777778) to get x
100/1.4577777777778=x
68.59756097561=x
x=68.59756097561

now we have:
9 is 68.59756097561% of 13.12
