16.3 is what percent of 16.05 - 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 16.05 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 16.05, so we can write it down as 100%=16.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.05
2) x%=16.3
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%=16.05/16.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.3 is what percent of 16.05

100%/x%=16.05/16.3
(100/x)*x=(16.05/16.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98466257668712*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98466257668712) to get x
100/0.98466257668712=x
101.55763239875=x
x=101.55763239875

now we have:
16.3 is 101.55763239875% of 16.05
