13 is what percent of 98000 - 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 98000 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 98000, so we can write it down as 100%=98000.
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%=98000
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%=98000/13
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 98000

100%/x%=98000/13
(100/x)*x=(98000/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7538.4615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7538.4615384615) to get x
100/7538.4615384615=x
0.013265306122449=x
x=0.013265306122449

now we have:
13 is 0.013265306122449% of 98000
