6.5% of what number is 325?
set it up the same way as the posting below this
let me know what you got
I tried and the answer I got was 500
no
6.5% is .065
so .065x = 325
x = 325/.065
x = 5000
check : .065(5000) = 325
To find the number that is 6.5% of another number, you can use the following formula:
(Desired Percentage / 100) x Number = Result
In this case, the desired percentage is 6.5 and we want to find the number that corresponds to 325. To solve for the unknown number, let's plug in the values into the formula and rearrange it:
(6.5 / 100) x Number = 325
Divide both sides of the equation by (6.5 / 100) to isolate the Number:
Number = 325 / (6.5 / 100)
Now, let's calculate:
Number = 5000
So, 6.5% of 5000 is equal to 325.
