What is 1.587 percent of 6348 - 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 6348 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 6348 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6348=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.587% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.587%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6348=100%
2) x=1.587%
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:
6348/x=100%/1.587%
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 1.587% of 6348

6348/x=100/1.587
(6348/x)*x=(100/1.587)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6348=63.011972274732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (63.011972274732) to get x
6348/63.011972274732=x
100.74276=x
x=100.74276

now we have:
1.587% of 6348=100.74276
