16.43 is what percent of 908.03 - 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 908.03 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 908.03, so we can write it down as 100%=908.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=908.03
2) x%=16.43
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%=908.03/16.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.43 is what percent of 908.03

100%/x%=908.03/16.43
(100/x)*x=(908.03/16.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=55.266585514303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (55.266585514303) to get x
100/55.266585514303=x
1.8094115833177=x
x=1.8094115833177

now we have:
16.43 is 1.8094115833177% of 908.03
