What is 13.333 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 13.333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40000=100%
2) x=13.333%
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%/13.333%
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 13.333% of 40000

40000/x=100/13.333
(40000/x)*x=(100/13.333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40000=7.5001875046876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.5001875046876) to get x
40000/7.5001875046876=x
5333.2=x
x=5333.2

now we have:
13.333% of 40000=5333.2
