2285.62 is what percent of 13000 - 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 13000 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 13000, so we can write it down as 100%=13000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2285.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2285.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13000
2) x%=2285.62
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%=13000/2285.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2285.62 is what percent of 13000

100%/x%=13000/2285.62
(100/x)*x=(13000/2285.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.687734619053*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.687734619053) to get x
100/5.687734619053=x
17.581692307692=x
x=17.581692307692

now we have:
2285.62 is 17.581692307692% of 13000
