Answer:

6274.5.

Explanation:

We can model this problem using the following two ratios:

is / of = % / 100, where

We already have our is value (800) and the % (51/4), and we're trying to find the of value (we can represent it with the variable o):

(800 / o = (51/4) / 100) * 100

(80000 / o = 51/4) * o

(80000 = 51/4o) / 51/4

80000 * (4/ 51) = o

6274.509804 = o

6274.5 = o

Thus, 800 is 51/4% of about 6274.5
