What is 65 percent of 2545 - 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 2545 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 2545 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2545=100%.
4. We know, that x is 65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2545=100%
2) x=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:
2545/x=100%/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 65% of 2545

2545/x=100/65
(2545/x)*x=(100/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2545=1.5384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5384615384615) to get x
2545/1.5384615384615=x
1654.25=x
x=1654.25

now we have:
65% of 2545=1654.25
