What is 20.5 percent of 67000 - 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 67000 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 67000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 67000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 67000=100%
2) x=20.5%
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:
67000/x=100%/20.5%
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 20.5% of 67000

67000/x=100/20.5
(67000/x)*x=(100/20.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
67000=4.8780487804878*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8780487804878) to get x
67000/4.8780487804878=x
13735=x
x=13735

now we have:
20.5% of 67000=13735
