6.5% of $400 is what number? answer this with two answers with the percent proportion then with the percent equation.

. We assume, that the number 400 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 400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 400=100%.

4. We know, that x is 6.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.5%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 400=100%

2) x=6.5%

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:

400/x=100%/6.5%

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 6.5% of 400

400/x=100/6.5

(400/x)*x=(100/6.5)*x       -

400=15.3846153846*x       -

400/15.3846153846=x

26=x

x=26

now we have:

6.5% of 400=26

Step-by-step explanation:This may help and if it does please thank me in the comments.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
