What is 37.75 percent of 13.25 - 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 13.25 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 13.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 37.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13.25=100%
2) x=37.75%
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:
13.25/x=100%/37.75%
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 37.75% of 13.25

13.25/x=100/37.75
(13.25/x)*x=(100/37.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13.25=2.6490066225166*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6490066225166) to get x
13.25/2.6490066225166=x
5.001875=x
x=5.001875

now we have:
37.75% of 13.25=5.001875
