16.35 is what percent of 983.05 - 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 983.05 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 983.05, so we can write it down as 100%=983.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=983.05
2) x%=16.35
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%=983.05/16.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.35 is what percent of 983.05

100%/x%=983.05/16.35
(100/x)*x=(983.05/16.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=60.125382262997*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.125382262997) to get x
100/60.125382262997=x
1.6631910889578=x
x=1.6631910889578

now we have:
16.35 is 1.6631910889578% of 983.05
