65 is what percent of 6366 - 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 6366 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 6366, so we can write it down as 100%=6366.
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%=6366
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%=6366/65
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 6366

100%/x%=6366/65
(100/x)*x=(6366/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=97.938461538462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (97.938461538462) to get x
100/97.938461538462=x
1.0210493245366=x
x=1.0210493245366

now we have:
65 is 1.0210493245366% of 6366
