What is 3.94 percent of 13500 - 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 13500 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 13500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13500=100%
2) x=3.94%
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:
13500/x=100%/3.94%
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 3.94% of 13500

13500/x=100/3.94
(13500/x)*x=(100/3.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13500=25.380710659898*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.380710659898) to get x
13500/25.380710659898=x
531.9=x
x=531.9

now we have:
3.94% of 13500=531.9
