What is 6.25 percent of 34.5 - 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 34.5 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 34.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34.5=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) 34.5=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:
34.5/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 34.5

34.5/x=100/6.25
(34.5/x)*x=(100/6.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34.5=16*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16) to get x
34.5/16=x
2.15625=x
x=2.15625

now we have:
6.25% of 34.5=2.15625
