What is 13.904 percent of 5300 - 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 5300 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 5300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.904% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.904%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5300=100%
2) x=13.904%
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:
5300/x=100%/13.904%
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 13.904% of 5300

5300/x=100/13.904
(5300/x)*x=(100/13.904)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5300=7.1921749136939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1921749136939) to get x
5300/7.1921749136939=x
736.912=x
x=736.912

now we have:
13.904% of 5300=736.912
