16.19 is what percent of 574.19 - 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 574.19 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 574.19, so we can write it down as 100%=574.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=574.19
2) x%=16.19
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%=574.19/16.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.19 is what percent of 574.19

100%/x%=574.19/16.19
(100/x)*x=(574.19/16.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.465719579988*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.465719579988) to get x
100/35.465719579988=x
2.8196241662168=x
x=2.8196241662168

now we have:
