What is 1.64 percent of 530 - 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 530 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 530 is 100%, so we can write it down as 530=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 530=100%
2) x=1.64%
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:
530/x=100%/1.64%
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 1.64% of 530

530/x=100/1.64
(530/x)*x=(100/1.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
530=60.975609756098*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.975609756098) to get x
530/60.975609756098=x
8.692=x
x=8.692

now we have:
1.64% of 530=8.692
