13 is what percent of 93 - 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 93 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 93, so we can write it down as 100%=93.
4. We know, that x% equals 13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=93
2) x%=13
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%=93/13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13 is what percent of 93

100%/x%=93/13
(100/x)*x=(93/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.15384615385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.15384615385) to get x
100/7.15384615385=x
13.9784946237=x
x=13.9784946237

now we have:
13 is 13.9784946237% of 93
