To find the number that corresponds to 6.5% of another number, we can use the following formula:
(Number) * (Percentage/100) = Result
Let's apply this formula to the given problem:
Let's assume the number we are looking for is x.
Thus, the equation becomes:
x * 6.5/100 = 325
To find x, we need to solve this equation.
First, let's simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 100 to get rid of the fraction:
100 (x * 6.5/100) = 100 * 325
This simplifies to:
6.5x = 32500
Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 6.5 to isolate x:
6.5x / 6.5 = 32500 / 6.5
This simplifies to:
x = 5000
Therefore, 6.5% of 5000 is equal to 325.
