What is 6500 percent of 260 - 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 260 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 260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 260=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 260=100%
2) x=6500%
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:
260/x=100%/6500%
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 6500% of 260

260/x=100/6500
(260/x)*x=(100/6500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
260=0.015384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.015384615384615) to get x
260/0.015384615384615=x
16900=x
x=16900

now we have:
6500% of 260=16900
