16.62 is what percent of 10.32 - 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 10.32 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 10.32, so we can write it down as 100%=10.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.32
2) x%=16.62
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%=10.32/16.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.62 is what percent of 10.32

100%/x%=10.32/16.62
(100/x)*x=(10.32/16.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.62093862815884*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.62093862815884) to get x
100/0.62093862815884=x
161.04651162791=x
x=161.04651162791

now we have:
16.62 is 161.04651162791% of 10.32
