99 is what percent of 1325 - 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 1325 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 1325, so we can write it down as 100%=1325.
4. We know, that x% equals 99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1325
2) x%=99
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%=1325/99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99 is what percent of 1325

100%/x%=1325/99
(100/x)*x=(1325/99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.383838383838*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.383838383838) to get x
100/13.383838383838=x
7.4716981132075=x
x=7.4716981132075

now we have:
99 is 7.4716981132075% of 1325
