16.25 is what percent of 193 - 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 193 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 193, so we can write it down as 100%=193.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=193
2) x%=16.25
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%=193/16.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.25 is what percent of 193

100%/x%=193/16.25
(100/x)*x=(193/16.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.876923076923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.876923076923) to get x
100/11.876923076923=x
8.419689119171=x
x=8.419689119171

now we have:
16.25 is 8.419689119171% of 193
