What is 13 percent of 4608 - 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 4608 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 4608 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4608=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) 4608=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:
4608/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 4608

4608/x=100/13
(4608/x)*x=(100/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4608=7.6923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6923076923077) to get x
4608/7.6923076923077=x
599.04=x
x=599.04

now we have:
13% of 4608=599.04
