1.6 is what percent of 2676 - 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 2676 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 2676, so we can write it down as 100%=2676.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2676
2) x%=1.6
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%=2676/1.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.6 is what percent of 2676

100%/x%=2676/1.6
(100/x)*x=(2676/1.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1672.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1672.5) to get x
100/1672.5=x
0.059790732436472=x
x=0.059790732436472

now we have:
1.6 is 0.059790732436472% of 2676
