What is 25 percent of 13502 - 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 13502 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 13502 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13502=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) 13502=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:
13502/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 13502

13502/x=100/25
(13502/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13502=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
13502/4=x
3375.5=x
x=3375.5

now we have:
25% of 13502=3375.5
