13.97 is what percent of 6.36 - 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 6.36 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 6.36, so we can write it down as 100%=6.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 13.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.36
2) x%=13.97
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%=6.36/13.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13.97 is what percent of 6.36

100%/x%=6.36/13.97
(100/x)*x=(6.36/13.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.45526127415891*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.45526127415891) to get x
100/0.45526127415891=x
219.65408805031=x
x=219.65408805031

now we have:
13.97 is 219.65408805031% of 6.36
