What is 3.85 percent of 130000000 - 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 130000000 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 130000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 130000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 130000000=100%
2) x=3.85%
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:
130000000/x=100%/3.85%
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 3.85% of 130000000

130000000/x=100/3.85
(130000000/x)*x=(100/3.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
130000000=25.974025974026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.974025974026) to get x
130000000/25.974025974026=x
5005000=x
x=5005000

now we have:
3.85% of 130000000=5005000
