6.5% of what number is 325?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

5000

Let's convert it so that the percentage can be seen more easily as decimals.

#6.5-:100=0.065#

So... a number we don't know,#x#, times #0.065## [6.5%]#, gives us #325#

#x(0.065)=325#

Now find #x#

Divide both sides by #0.065# to find #x#

#(xcancel0.065)/(cancel0.065)=325/0.065#

#x=325/0.065#

#x=5000#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
