What is 13.31 percent of 40000 - 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 40000 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 40000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40000=100%
2) x=13.31%
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:
40000/x=100%/13.31%
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 13.31% of 40000

40000/x=100/13.31
(40000/x)*x=(100/13.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40000=7.5131480090158*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5131480090158) to get x
40000/7.5131480090158=x
5324=x
x=5324

now we have:
13.31% of 40000=5324
