0.99 is what percent of 16.98 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 16.98 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 100% equals 16.98, so we can write it down as 100%=16.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.98
2) x%=0.99
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:
100%/x%=16.98/0.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.99 is what percent of 16.98

100%/x%=16.98/0.99
(100/x)*x=(16.98/0.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.151515151515*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.151515151515) to get x
100/17.151515151515=x
5.8303886925795=x
x=5.8303886925795

now we have:
0.99 is 5.8303886925795% of 16.98
