13.59 is what percent of 125 - 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 125 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 125, so we can write it down as 100%=125.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=125
2) x%=13.59
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%=125/13.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.59 is what percent of 125

100%/x%=125/13.59
(100/x)*x=(125/13.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.1979396615158*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.1979396615158) to get x
100/9.1979396615158=x
10.872=x
x=10.872

now we have:
13.59 is 10.872% of 125
