What is 13.85 percent of 780 - 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 780 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 780 is 100%, so we can write it down as 780=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 780=100%
2) x=13.85%
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:
780/x=100%/13.85%
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 13.85% of 780

780/x=100/13.85
(780/x)*x=(100/13.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
780=7.2202166064982*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2202166064982) to get x
780/7.2202166064982=x
108.03=x
x=108.03

now we have:
13.85% of 780=108.03
