What is 4 percent of 13.675 - 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 13.675 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 13.675 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13.675=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13.675=100%
2) x=4%
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:
13.675/x=100%/4%
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 4% of 13.675

13.675/x=100/4
(13.675/x)*x=(100/4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13.675=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x
13.675/25=x
0.547=x
x=0.547

now we have:
4% of 13.675=0.547
