16.06 is what percent of 553.08 - 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 553.08 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 553.08, so we can write it down as 100%=553.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=553.08
2) x%=16.06
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%=553.08/16.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.06 is what percent of 553.08

100%/x%=553.08/16.06
(100/x)*x=(553.08/16.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.438356164384*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.438356164384) to get x
100/34.438356164384=x
2.903739061257=x
x=2.903739061257

now we have:
16.06 is 2.903739061257% of 553.08
