65 is what percent of 1302 - 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 1302 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 1302, so we can write it down as 100%=1302.
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%=1302
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%=1302/65
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 1302

100%/x%=1302/65
(100/x)*x=(1302/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.030769230769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.030769230769) to get x
100/20.030769230769=x
4.9923195084485=x
x=4.9923195084485

now we have:
65 is 4.9923195084485% of 1302
