What is 6.25 percent of 100520 - 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 100520 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 100520 is 100%, so we can write it down as 100520=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100520=100%
2) x=6.25%
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:
100520/x=100%/6.25%
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 6.25% of 100520

100520/x=100/6.25
(100520/x)*x=(100/6.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100520=16*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16) to get x
100520/16=x
6282.5=x
x=6282.5

now we have:
6.25% of 100520=6282.5
