16.03 is what percent of 714.29 - 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 714.29 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 714.29, so we can write it down as 100%=714.29.
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%=714.29
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%=714.29/16.03
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 714.29

100%/x%=714.29/16.03
(100/x)*x=(714.29/16.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.559575795384*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.559575795384) to get x
100/44.559575795384=x
2.2441865348808=x
x=2.2441865348808

now we have:
16.03 is 2.2441865348808% of 714.29
