1.62 is what percent of 16144 - 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 16144 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 16144, so we can write it down as 100%=16144.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16144
2) x%=1.62
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%=16144/1.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.62 is what percent of 16144

100%/x%=16144/1.62
(100/x)*x=(16144/1.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9965.4320987654*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9965.4320987654) to get x
100/9965.4320987654=x
0.010034687809713=x
x=0.010034687809713

now we have:
1.62 is 0.010034687809713% of 16144
