What is 650 percent of 462 - 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 462 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 462 is 100%, so we can write it down as 462=100%.
4. We know, that x is 650% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=650%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 462=100%
2) x=650%
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:
462/x=100%/650%
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 650% of 462

462/x=100/650
(462/x)*x=(100/650)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
462=0.15384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.15384615384615) to get x
462/0.15384615384615=x
3003=x
x=3003

now we have:
650% of 462=3003
