What is 9 percent of 1650 - 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 1650 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 1650 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1650=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1650=100%
2) x=9%
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:
1650/x=100%/9%
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 9% of 1650

1650/x=100/9
(1650/x)*x=(100/9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1650=11.111111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.111111111111) to get x
1650/11.111111111111=x
148.5=x
x=148.5

now we have:
9% of 1650=148.5
