13 is what percent of 1724 - 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 1724 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 1724, so we can write it down as 100%=1724.
4. We know, that x% equals 13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1724
2) x%=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%=1724/13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13 is what percent of 1724

100%/x%=1724/13
(100/x)*x=(1724/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=132.61538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (132.61538461538) to get x
100/132.61538461538=x
0.75406032482599=x
x=0.75406032482599

now we have:
13 is 0.75406032482599% of 1724
