What is 23.3333 percent of 6500 - 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 6500 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 6500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.3333% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.3333%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6500=100%
2) x=23.3333%
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:
6500/x=100%/23.3333%
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 23.3333% of 6500

6500/x=100/23.3333
(6500/x)*x=(100/23.3333)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6500=4.285720408172*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.285720408172) to get x
6500/4.285720408172=x
1516.6645=x
x=1516.6645

now we have:
23.3333% of 6500=1516.6645
