What is 6.35 percent of 319 - 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 319 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 319 is 100%, so we can write it down as 319=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 319=100%
2) x=6.35%
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:
319/x=100%/6.35%
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 6.35% of 319

319/x=100/6.35
(319/x)*x=(100/6.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
319=15.748031496063*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.748031496063) to get x
319/15.748031496063=x
20.2565=x
x=20.2565

now we have:
6.35% of 319=20.2565
