13.5 is what percent of 355.73 - 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 355.73 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 355.73, so we can write it down as 100%=355.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=355.73
2) x%=13.5
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%=355.73/13.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.5 is what percent of 355.73

100%/x%=355.73/13.5
(100/x)*x=(355.73/13.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.35037037037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.35037037037) to get x
100/26.35037037037=x
3.7950130717117=x
x=3.7950130717117

now we have:
13.5 is 3.7950130717117% of 355.73
