13.48 is what percent of 34.99 - 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 34.99 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 34.99, so we can write it down as 100%=34.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.99
2) x%=13.48
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%=34.99/13.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.48 is what percent of 34.99

100%/x%=34.99/13.48
(100/x)*x=(34.99/13.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5956973293769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5956973293769) to get x
100/2.5956973293769=x
38.52529294084=x
x=38.52529294084

now we have:
13.48 is 38.52529294084% of 34.99
