What is 130000 percent of 20.5 - 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 20.5 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 20.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 130000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=130000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20.5=100%
2) x=130000%
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:
20.5/x=100%/130000%
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 130000% of 20.5

20.5/x=100/130000
(20.5/x)*x=(100/130000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20.5=0.00076923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00076923076923077) to get x
20.5/0.00076923076923077=x
26650=x
x=26650

now we have:
130000% of 20.5=26650
