What is 13000 percent of 15.3 - 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 15.3 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 15.3 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15.3=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15.3=100%
2) x=13000%
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:
15.3/x=100%/13000%
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 13000% of 15.3

15.3/x=100/13000
(15.3/x)*x=(100/13000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15.3=0.0076923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0076923076923077) to get x
15.3/0.0076923076923077=x
1989=x
x=1989

now we have:
13000% of 15.3=1989
