What is 6.45 percent of 230 - 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 230 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 230 is 100%, so we can write it down as 230=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 230=100%
2) x=6.45%
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:
230/x=100%/6.45%
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 6.45% of 230

230/x=100/6.45
(230/x)*x=(100/6.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
230=15.503875968992*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.503875968992) to get x
230/15.503875968992=x
14.835=x
x=14.835

now we have:
6.45% of 230=14.835
