16.32 is what percent of 320000000 - 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 320000000 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 320000000, so we can write it down as 100%=320000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=320000000
2) x%=16.32
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%=320000000/16.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.32 is what percent of 320000000

100%/x%=320000000/16.32
(100/x)*x=(320000000/16.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19607843.137255*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19607843.137255) to get x
100/19607843.137255=x
5.1E-6=x
x=5.1E-6

now we have:
16.32 is 5.1E-6% of 320000000
