0.15 is what percent of 13.31 - 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 13.31 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 13.31, so we can write it down as 100%=13.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13.31
2) x%=0.15
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%=13.31/0.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.15 is what percent of 13.31

100%/x%=13.31/0.15
(100/x)*x=(13.31/0.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=88.733333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (88.733333333333) to get x
100/88.733333333333=x
1.1269722013524=x
x=1.1269722013524

now we have:
0.15 is 1.1269722013524% of 13.31
