16.03 is what percent of 315760 - 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 315760 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 315760, so we can write it down as 100%=315760.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=315760
2) x%=16.03
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%=315760/16.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.03 is what percent of 315760

100%/x%=315760/16.03
(100/x)*x=(315760/16.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19698.066126014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19698.066126014) to get x
100/19698.066126014=x
0.0050766404864454=x
x=0.0050766404864454

now we have:
16.03 is 0.0050766404864454% of 315760
