What is 13.265 percent of 54.5 - 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 54.5 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 54.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 54.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.265% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.265%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 54.5=100%
2) x=13.265%
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:
54.5/x=100%/13.265%
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 13.265% of 54.5

54.5/x=100/13.265
(54.5/x)*x=(100/13.265)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
54.5=7.5386355069732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5386355069732) to get x
54.5/7.5386355069732=x
7.229425=x
x=7.229425

now we have:
13.265% of 54.5=7.229425
