What is 13.38 percent of 985 - 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 985 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 985 is 100%, so we can write it down as 985=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 985=100%
2) x=13.38%
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:
985/x=100%/13.38%
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 13.38% of 985

985/x=100/13.38
(985/x)*x=(100/13.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
985=7.473841554559*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.473841554559) to get x
985/7.473841554559=x
131.793=x
x=131.793

now we have:
13.38% of 985=131.793
