25% = 1/4, so 13 x 4 = 52
13 ÷ 25%
= 13 ÷ 25/100
= 13 x 100/25
= 1300/25
= 52 people
The above is a good answer (and correct in the solution) however, I feel the explanation of how the problem is solved isn't the most accurate way to solve this problem. As you stated 25% is 1/4, however, using this method to solve this problem will prove more complicated if the percentage becomes a more complicated number such as 33% or 35%, just a couple of examples.
(always remember to change your percentage to decimal form before solving)
The best way to solve such an equation is to remember the rules of Part, Base, Rate.
Rate always being the percent (%)
Remember to find the part the solution is b * r(%) = p
Example, 25% of 100 would be 100 x .25 = 25
If you have a problem where the part and the rate are given, then you are looking for the base, or your starting number. As with the problem above, we know that 13 is the percentage of how many students are girls in a class, however we now need to solve to find out exactly how many students are in the class, since we are given the p (part) and the r (rate) we need to solve for base.
b * .25 = 13.
reverse the order (b = p / r)
b = 13 / .25
b = 52
To check replace b with 52 and solve
52 * .25 = 13
Now let's take the same problem and search for rate if base and part are given.
since we know the problem is b * r(%) = p, the we write it as follows
52 * r = 13
reverse the order once again, as with the first problem, remember this time we are searching for the rate. The equation would then be written (r = p / b)
r = 13 / 52
0.25 = 13 / 52
Change the decimal .25 to a percentage by moving the decimal two places to the right...
25%
to check just replace the original problem with your answer and solve...
52 * .25 = 13
Remember the 3 basic rules,
b * r = p
p / b = r
p / r = b
25%=1/4
1/4 of the class is 13
13x4=52
yay
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 65 percent is equal to 13/20.
They are equal
1-13/16"
It's 11/12 percent of whatever principle you still owe.
13 is a prime number so only 13 and one can go into it
52...?
52%
13:27 There are 13 boys and 27 students (13 boys and 14 girls, 27 students total) in the class, so the ration is 13 to 27. Since this ratio cannot be reduced any further, the answer is simply 13:27.
13 out of 20
26:24 = 13:12 Simplify them using a common multiple.
The formula is: 1st amount (divided) by total amount (multiplied by) 100. So: 13(divided by) 25 (times) 100 = 52%
If there are 24 girls in a class of 50 and we assume the remaining students are boys, then there are 26 boys and the ratio of boys to girls is 26boys/24girls = 13/12=1.08333 boys for each girl.
13
13 out of 100 as a percent is 13%.
13
No. 1.3 percent and 13 percent are not the same. 1.3% is less than 13%.
13- 15
