16.28 is what percent of 814.02 - 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 814.02 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 814.02, so we can write it down as 100%=814.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=814.02
2) x%=16.28
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%=814.02/16.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.28 is what percent of 814.02

100%/x%=814.02/16.28
(100/x)*x=(814.02/16.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.001228501228*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.001228501228) to get x
100/50.001228501228=x
1.9999508611582=x
x=1.9999508611582

now we have:
16.28 is 1.9999508611582% of 814.02
