What is 72.48 percent of 13700 - 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 13700 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 13700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 72.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=72.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13700=100%
2) x=72.48%
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:
13700/x=100%/72.48%
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 72.48% of 13700

13700/x=100/72.48
(13700/x)*x=(100/72.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13700=1.3796909492274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3796909492274) to get x
13700/1.3796909492274=x
9929.76=x
x=9929.76

now we have:
72.48% of 13700=9929.76
