1072.18 is what percent of 16495 - 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 16495 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 16495, so we can write it down as 100%=16495.
4. We know, that x% equals 1072.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1072.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16495
2) x%=1072.18
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%=16495/1072.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1072.18 is what percent of 16495

100%/x%=16495/1072.18
(100/x)*x=(16495/1072.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.38454364006*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.38454364006) to get x
100/15.38454364006=x
6.5000303122158=x
x=6.5000303122158

now we have:
