1.16 is what percent of 1430 - 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 1430 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 1430, so we can write it down as 100%=1430.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1430
2) x%=1.16
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%=1430/1.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.16 is what percent of 1430

100%/x%=1430/1.16
(100/x)*x=(1430/1.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1232.7586206897*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1232.7586206897) to get x
100/1232.7586206897=x
0.081118881118881=x
x=0.081118881118881

now we have:
1.16 is 0.081118881118881% of 1430
