28.13 is what percent of 225 - 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 225 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 225, so we can write it down as 100%=225.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=225
2) x%=28.13
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%=225/28.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.13 is what percent of 225

100%/x%=225/28.13
(100/x)*x=(225/28.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9985780305723*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9985780305723) to get x
100/7.9985780305723=x
12.502222222222=x
x=12.502222222222

now we have:
28.13 is 12.502222222222% of 225
