What is 13.72 percent of 7160 - 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 7160 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 7160 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7160=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7160=100%
2) x=13.72%
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:
7160/x=100%/13.72%
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 13.72% of 7160

7160/x=100/13.72
(7160/x)*x=(100/13.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7160=7.28862973761*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.28862973761) to get x
7160/7.28862973761=x
982.352=x
x=982.352

now we have:
13.72% of 7160=982.352
