320.13 is what percent of 325 - 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 325 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 325, so we can write it down as 100%=325.
4. We know, that x% equals 320.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=320.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325
2) x%=320.13
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%=325/320.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 320.13 is what percent of 325

100%/x%=325/320.13
(100/x)*x=(325/320.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0152125698935*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0152125698935) to get x
100/1.0152125698935=x
98.501538461538=x
x=98.501538461538

now we have:
320.13 is 98.501538461538% of 325
