65 is what percent of 0.64 - 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 0.64 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 0.64, so we can write it down as 100%=0.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.64
2) x%=65
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%=0.64/65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65 is what percent of 0.64

100%/x%=0.64/65
(100/x)*x=(0.64/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0098461538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0098461538461538) to get x
100/0.0098461538461538=x
10156.25=x
x=10156.25

now we have:
65 is 10156.25% of 0.64
