What is 30.79 percent of 65 - 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 65 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 65 is 100%, so we can write it down as 65=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.79% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.79%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 65=100%
2) x=30.79%
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:
65/x=100%/30.79%
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 30.79% of 65

65/x=100/30.79
(65/x)*x=(100/30.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
65=3.2478077297824*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2478077297824) to get x
65/3.2478077297824=x
20.0135=x
x=20.0135

now we have:
30.79% of 65=20.0135
