What is 25.5 percent of 65000 - 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 65000 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 65000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 65000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 65000=100%
2) x=25.5%
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:
65000/x=100%/25.5%
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 25.5% of 65000

65000/x=100/25.5
(65000/x)*x=(100/25.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
65000=3.921568627451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.921568627451) to get x
65000/3.921568627451=x
16575=x
x=16575

now we have:
25.5% of 65000=16575
