1.3 is what percent of 79.7 - 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 79.7 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 79.7, so we can write it down as 100%=79.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=79.7
2) x%=1.3
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%=79.7/1.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.3 is what percent of 79.7

100%/x%=79.7/1.3
(100/x)*x=(79.7/1.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=61.307692307692*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (61.307692307692) to get x
100/61.307692307692=x
1.6311166875784=x
x=1.6311166875784

now we have:
1.3 is 1.6311166875784% of 79.7
