What is 1 percent of 6351 - 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 6351 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 6351 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6351=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6351=100%
2) x=1%
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:
6351/x=100%/1%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1% of 6351

6351/x=100/1
(6351/x)*x=(100/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6351=100*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (100) to get x
6351/100=x
63.51=x
x=63.51

now we have:
1% of 6351=63.51
