13 is 25% of what?

Answer 1

just convert the word problem into equation:

13 is 25% of what?

1. substitute "is" for = sign
2. convert "%" into decimal
3. "of" means multiply
4. substitute "what" for any variable

13 = 0.25 * n
n = 13/0.25
n = 52

Answer 2

13 x 4 = 52

Answer 3

25%/100=.25 13/.25 = 52

Answer 4

25/100
=1/4
=13*1/4
=52 ans

Answer 5

Doing problems like this becomes much easier if you learn translate English into Mathematics. Most students do not realize that mathematics is a language just like any other and can be translated to and from English. There are many grammatical structures that you must learn, but the one is this problem is rather simple. I will spell it out so you can use the technique on all problems of this sort.

13 means 13 (of course)
"is" means = (almost all English verbs translate to =)
25% means 0.25 (move the decimal two place for percent)
"of" mean mulitply
"what" means a variable (something you don't know)

So the translation is
"13 is 25% of what" becomes 13 = 0.25 * x

From there, if you know basic algebra, you can solve. Hope you can use this translation technique for future problems of this sort.

Answer 6

13 is 25 percent of X. This could be expressed as 13 = .25*x since is implies = and percent of implies multiplication. Just translate the equation. In place of is write =. and in place of "of" write multiply. Finally, divide each side of the equation by 0.25 to isolate x. You'll obtain, 13/0.25 = 52.

You can now check your results; i.e. is 13 = .25(52)? Yes it does
