What is 53 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 53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13500=100%
2) x=53%
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%/53%
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 53% of 13500

13500/x=100/53
(13500/x)*x=(100/53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13500=1.8867924528302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8867924528302) to get x
13500/1.8867924528302=x
7155=x
x=7155

now we have:
53% of 13500=7155
