10 is what percent of 16894 - 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 16894 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 16894, so we can write it down as 100%=16894.
4. We know, that x% equals 10 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16894
2) x%=10
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%=16894/10
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10 is what percent of 16894

100%/x%=16894/10
(100/x)*x=(16894/10)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1689.4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1689.4) to get x
100/1689.4=x
0.059192612761927=x
x=0.059192612761927

now we have:
10 is 0.059192612761927% of 16894
