What is 6625 percent of 265 - 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 265 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 265 is 100%, so we can write it down as 265=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 265=100%
2) x=6625%
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:
265/x=100%/6625%
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 6625% of 265

265/x=100/6625
(265/x)*x=(100/6625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
265=0.015094339622642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.015094339622642) to get x
265/0.015094339622642=x
17556.25=x
x=17556.25

now we have:
6625% of 265=17556.25
