What is 13 percent of 37.67 - 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 37.67 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 37.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37.67=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) 37.67=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:
37.67/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 37.67

37.67/x=100/13
(37.67/x)*x=(100/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37.67=7.6923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6923076923077) to get x
37.67/7.6923076923077=x
4.8971=x
x=4.8971

now we have:
13% of 37.67=4.8971
