What is 1.65 percent of 146000 - 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 146000 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 146000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 146000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 146000=100%
2) x=1.65%
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:
146000/x=100%/1.65%
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 1.65% of 146000

146000/x=100/1.65
(146000/x)*x=(100/1.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
146000=60.606060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.606060606061) to get x
146000/60.606060606061=x
2409=x
x=2409

now we have:
1.65% of 146000=2409
