1300 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1300 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1300.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=1300
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%=5/1300
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1300 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/1300
(100/x)*x=(5/1300)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0038461538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0038461538461538) to get x
100/0.0038461538461538=x
26000=x
x=26000

now we have:
1300 is 26000% of 5
