8 is what percent of 13000000 - 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 13000000 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 13000000, so we can write it down as 100%=13000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13000000
2) x%=8
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%=13000000/8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8 is what percent of 13000000

100%/x%=13000000/8
(100/x)*x=(13000000/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1625000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1625000) to get x
100/1625000=x
6.1538461538462E-5=x
x=6.1538461538462E-5

now we have:
8 is 6.1538461538462E-5% of 13000000
