What is 95.5 percent of 6.49 - 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 6.49 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 6.49 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6.49=100%.
4. We know, that x is 95.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=95.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6.49=100%
2) x=95.5%
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:
6.49/x=100%/95.5%
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 95.5% of 6.49

6.49/x=100/95.5
(6.49/x)*x=(100/95.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6.49=1.0471204188482*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0471204188482) to get x
6.49/1.0471204188482=x
6.19795=x
x=6.19795

now we have:
95.5% of 6.49=6.19795
