What is 6000 percent of 264 - 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 264 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 264 is 100%, so we can write it down as 264=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 264=100%
2) x=6000%
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:
264/x=100%/6000%
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 6000% of 264

264/x=100/6000
(264/x)*x=(100/6000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
264=0.016666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.016666666666667) to get x
264/0.016666666666667=x
15840=x
x=15840

now we have:
6000% of 264=15840
