What is 6.5 percent of 630 - 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 630 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 630 is 100%, so we can write it down as 630=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 630=100%
2) x=6.5%
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:
630/x=100%/6.5%
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 6.5% of 630

630/x=100/6.5
(630/x)*x=(100/6.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
630=15.3846153846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.3846153846) to get x
630/15.3846153846=x
40.95=x
x=40.95

now we have:
6.5% of 630=40.95
