Let's use 100 for our example. How would we find 10% of 100? We would use the equation 100 x .1 = 10. So, let's reverse the equation to find out what number 10 is 10% of. Since we multiplied the first time, we'll now divide. Our equation is
10 / .1 = 100. Now that we know this works, we can put it into our original problem. We'll use the second type of equation. Our equation is
8251 / 1.27 = 6496.850... Now we round- We're looking at the hundredths place to determine what the tenths will be- since it is 5, we'll round up, making the tenths 9. Your answer is 6496.9.
