What is 25 percent of 130456 - 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 130456 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 130456 is 100%, so we can write it down as 130456=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 130456=100%
2) x=25%
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:
130456/x=100%/25%
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 25% of 130456

130456/x=100/25
(130456/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
130456=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
130456/4=x
32614=x
x=32614

now we have:
25% of 130456=32614
