What is 6.53 percent of 35.99 - 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 35.99 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 35.99 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35.99=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35.99=100%
2) x=6.53%
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:
35.99/x=100%/6.53%
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 6.53% of 35.99

35.99/x=100/6.53
(35.99/x)*x=(100/6.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
35.99=15.31393568147*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.31393568147) to get x
35.99/15.31393568147=x
2.350147=x
x=2.350147

now we have:
6.53% of 35.99=2.350147
