1.12 is what percent of 16.62 - 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 16.62 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 16.62, so we can write it down as 100%=16.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.62
2) x%=1.12
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%=16.62/1.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.12 is what percent of 16.62

100%/x%=16.62/1.12
(100/x)*x=(16.62/1.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.839285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.839285714286) to get x
100/14.839285714286=x
6.7388688327316=x
x=6.7388688327316

now we have:
1.12 is 6.7388688327316% of 16.62
