What is 2.525 percent of 6287 - 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 6287 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 6287 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6287=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.525% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.525%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6287=100%
2) x=2.525%
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:
6287/x=100%/2.525%
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 2.525% of 6287

6287/x=100/2.525
(6287/x)*x=(100/2.525)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6287=39.60396039604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.60396039604) to get x
6287/39.60396039604=x
158.74675=x
x=158.74675

now we have:
2.525% of 6287=158.74675
