16.01 is what percent of 235.2 - 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 235.2 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 235.2, so we can write it down as 100%=235.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=235.2
2) x%=16.01
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%=235.2/16.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.01 is what percent of 235.2

100%/x%=235.2/16.01
(100/x)*x=(235.2/16.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.690818238601*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.690818238601) to get x
100/14.690818238601=x
6.8069727891156=x
x=6.8069727891156

now we have:
16.01 is 6.8069727891156% of 235.2
