What is 9.96 percent of 654 - 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 654 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 654 is 100%, so we can write it down as 654=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 654=100%
2) x=9.96%
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:
654/x=100%/9.96%
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 9.96% of 654

654/x=100/9.96
(654/x)*x=(100/9.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
654=10.04016064257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.04016064257) to get x
654/10.04016064257=x
65.1384=x
x=65.1384

now we have:
9.96% of 654=65.1384
