What is 1.65 percent of 8.25 - 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 8.25 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 8.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.25=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) 8.25=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:
8.25/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 8.25

8.25/x=100/1.65
(8.25/x)*x=(100/1.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.25=60.606060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.606060606061) to get x
8.25/60.606060606061=x
0.136125=x
x=0.136125

now we have:
1.65% of 8.25=0.136125
