8.06 is what percent of 13 - 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 13 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 13, so we can write it down as 100%=13.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13
2) x%=8.06
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%=13/8.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.06 is what percent of 13

100%/x%=13/8.06
(100/x)*x=(13/8.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6129032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6129032258065) to get x
100/1.6129032258065=x
62=x
x=62

now we have:
8.06 is 62% of 13
