What is 13.17 percent of 152.99 - 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 152.99 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 152.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 152.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 152.99=100%
2) x=13.17%
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:
152.99/x=100%/13.17%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 13.17% of 152.99

152.99/x=100/13.17
(152.99/x)*x=(100/13.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
152.99=7.5930144267274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5930144267274) to get x
152.99/7.5930144267274=x
20.148783=x
x=20.148783

now we have:
13.17% of 152.99=20.148783
