What is 6.38 percent of 165000 - 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 165000 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 165000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 165000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.38% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.38%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 165000=100%
2) x=6.38%
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:
165000/x=100%/6.38%
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 6.38% of 165000

165000/x=100/6.38
(165000/x)*x=(100/6.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
165000=15.673981191223*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.673981191223) to get x
165000/15.673981191223=x
10527=x
x=10527

now we have:
6.38% of 165000=10527
