What is 3.25 percent of 6607.5 - 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 6607.5 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 6607.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6607.5=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) 6607.5=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:
6607.5/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 6607.5

6607.5/x=100/3.25
(6607.5/x)*x=(100/3.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6607.5=30.769230769231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.769230769231) to get x
6607.5/30.769230769231=x
214.74375=x
x=214.74375

now we have:
3.25% of 6607.5=214.74375
