16 is what percent of 933 - 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 933 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 933, so we can write it down as 100%=933.
4. We know, that x% equals 16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=933
2) x%=16
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%=933/16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16 is what percent of 933

100%/x%=933/16
(100/x)*x=(933/16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=58.3125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (58.3125) to get x
100/58.3125=x
1.7148981779207=x
x=1.7148981779207

now we have:
16 is 1.7148981779207% of 933
