13000 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 100% equals 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 13000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=13000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=13000
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:
100%/x%=5/13000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13000 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/13000
(100/x)*x=(5/13000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.000384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.000384615384615) to get x
100/0.000384615384615=x
260000=x
x=260000

now we have:
13000 is 260000% of 5
