What is 25 percent of 13693 - 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 13693 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 13693 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13693=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13693=100%
2) x=25%
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:
13693/x=100%/25%
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 25% of 13693

13693/x=100/25
(13693/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13693=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
13693/4=x
3423.25=x
x=3423.25

now we have:
25% of 13693=3423.25
