What is 6.25 percent of 3606 - 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 3606 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 3606 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3606=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3606=100%
2) x=6.25%
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:
3606/x=100%/6.25%
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 6.25% of 3606

3606/x=100/6.25
(3606/x)*x=(100/6.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3606=16*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16) to get x
3606/16=x
225.375=x
x=225.375

now we have:
6.25% of 3606=225.375
