What is 13 percent of 13924 - 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 13924 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 13924 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13924=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13924=100%
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:
13924/x=100%/13%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 13% of 13924

13924/x=100/13
(13924/x)*x=(100/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13924=7.6923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6923076923077) to get x
13924/7.6923076923077=x
1810.12=x
x=1810.12

now we have:
13% of 13924=1810.12
