16.2 is what percent of 249000 - 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 249000 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 249000, so we can write it down as 100%=249000.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=249000
2) x%=16.2
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%=249000/16.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.2 is what percent of 249000

100%/x%=249000/16.2
(100/x)*x=(249000/16.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15370.37037037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15370.37037037) to get x
100/15370.37037037=x
0.0065060240963855=x
x=0.0065060240963855

now we have:
16.2 is 0.0065060240963855% of 249000
