1.65 is what percent of 16.2 - 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 16.2 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 16.2, so we can write it down as 100%=16.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.2
2) x%=1.65
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%=16.2/1.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.65 is what percent of 16.2

100%/x%=16.2/1.65
(100/x)*x=(16.2/1.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.8181818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8181818181818) to get x
100/9.8181818181818=x
10.185185185185=x
x=10.185185185185

now we have:
1.65 is 10.185185185185% of 16.2
