What is 38.7 percent of 6450 - 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 6450 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 6450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6450=100%
2) x=38.7%
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:
6450/x=100%/38.7%
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 38.7% of 6450

6450/x=100/38.7
(6450/x)*x=(100/38.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6450=2.5839793281654*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5839793281654) to get x
6450/2.5839793281654=x
2496.15=x
x=2496.15

now we have:
38.7% of 6450=2496.15
