1096.72 is what percent of 16685 - 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 16685 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 16685, so we can write it down as 100%=16685.
4. We know, that x% equals 1096.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1096.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16685
2) x%=1096.72
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%=16685/1096.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1096.72 is what percent of 16685
