4713.42 is what percent of 13500 - 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 13500 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 13500, so we can write it down as 100%=13500.
4. We know, that x% equals 4713.42 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4713.42.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13500
2) x%=4713.42
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%=13500/4713.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4713.42 is what percent of 13500

100%/x%=13500/4713.42
(100/x)*x=(13500/4713.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8641623279911*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8641623279911) to get x
100/2.8641623279911=x
34.914222222222=x
x=34.914222222222

now we have:
