What is 75 percent of 13991.02 - 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 13991.02 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 13991.02 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13991.02=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13991.02=100%
2) x=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:
13991.02/x=100%/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 75% of 13991.02

13991.02/x=100/75
(13991.02/x)*x=(100/75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13991.02=1.33333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.33333333333) to get x
13991.02/1.33333333333=x
10493.265=x
x=10493.265

now we have:
75% of 13991.02=10493.265
