16.31 is what percent of 1125 - 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 1125 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 1125, so we can write it down as 100%=1125.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1125
2) x%=16.31
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%=1125/16.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.31 is what percent of 1125

100%/x%=1125/16.31
(100/x)*x=(1125/16.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.976088289393*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.976088289393) to get x
100/68.976088289393=x
1.4497777777778=x
x=1.4497777777778

now we have:
16.31 is 1.4497777777778% of 1125
