13.76 is what percent of 41.25 - 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 41.25 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 41.25, so we can write it down as 100%=41.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.25
2) x%=13.76
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%=41.25/13.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.76 is what percent of 41.25

100%/x%=41.25/13.76
(100/x)*x=(41.25/13.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9978197674419*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9978197674419) to get x
100/2.9978197674419=x
33.357575757576=x
x=33.357575757576

now we have:
13.76 is 33.357575757576% of 41.25
