What is 17 percent of 13150 - 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 13150 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 13150 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13150=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13150=100%
2) x=17%
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:
13150/x=100%/17%
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 17% of 13150

13150/x=100/17
(13150/x)*x=(100/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13150=5.8823529411765*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8823529411765) to get x
13150/5.8823529411765=x
2235.5=x
x=2235.5

now we have:
17% of 13150=2235.5
