What is 55.21 percent of 130400 - 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 130400 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 130400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 130400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 55.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 130400=100%
2) x=55.21%
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:
130400/x=100%/55.21%
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 55.21% of 130400

130400/x=100/55.21
(130400/x)*x=(100/55.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
130400=1.8112660749864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8112660749864) to get x
130400/1.8112660749864=x
71993.84=x
x=71993.84

now we have:
55.21% of 130400=71993.84
