What is 37.15 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 37.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 65=100%
2) x=37.15%
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%/37.15%
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 37.15% of 65

65/x=100/37.15
(65/x)*x=(100/37.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
65=2.6917900403769*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6917900403769) to get x
65/2.6917900403769=x
24.1475=x
x=24.1475

now we have:
37.15% of 65=24.1475
