What is 3.25 percent of 165105 - 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 165105 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 165105 is 100%, so we can write it down as 165105=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 165105=100%
2) x=3.25%
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:
165105/x=100%/3.25%
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 3.25% of 165105

165105/x=100/3.25
(165105/x)*x=(100/3.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
165105=30.769230769231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.769230769231) to get x
165105/30.769230769231=x
5365.9125=x
x=5365.9125

now we have:
3.25% of 165105=5365.9125
