What is 13.53 percent of 5140 - 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 5140 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 5140 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5140=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5140=100%
2) x=13.53%
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:
5140/x=100%/13.53%
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 13.53% of 5140

5140/x=100/13.53
(5140/x)*x=(100/13.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5140=7.3909830007391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.3909830007391) to get x
5140/7.3909830007391=x
695.442=x
x=695.442

now we have:
13.53% of 5140=695.442
