13.2 is what percent of 19.23 - 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 19.23 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 19.23, so we can write it down as 100%=19.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.23
2) x%=13.2
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%=19.23/13.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.2 is what percent of 19.23

100%/x%=19.23/13.2
(100/x)*x=(19.23/13.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4568181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4568181818182) to get x
100/1.4568181818182=x
68.642745709828=x
x=68.642745709828

now we have:
13.2 is 68.642745709828% of 19.23
