What is 6.65 percent of 38000 - 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 38000 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 38000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38000=100%
2) x=6.65%
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:
38000/x=100%/6.65%
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 6.65% of 38000

38000/x=100/6.65
(38000/x)*x=(100/6.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38000=15.037593984962*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.037593984962) to get x
38000/15.037593984962=x
2527=x
x=2527

now we have:
6.65% of 38000=2527
