16.18 is what percent of 163.6 - 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 163.6 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 163.6, so we can write it down as 100%=163.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=163.6
2) x%=16.18
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%=163.6/16.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.18 is what percent of 163.6

100%/x%=163.6/16.18
(100/x)*x=(163.6/16.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.111248454883*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.111248454883) to get x
100/10.111248454883=x
9.8899755501222=x
x=9.8899755501222

now we have:
16.18 is 9.8899755501222% of 163.6
