16.65 is what percent of 325.719 - 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 325.719 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 325.719, so we can write it down as 100%=325.719.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325.719
2) x%=16.65
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%=325.719/16.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.65 is what percent of 325.719

100%/x%=325.719/16.65
(100/x)*x=(325.719/16.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.562702702703*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.562702702703) to get x
100/19.562702702703=x
5.1117681191456=x
x=5.1117681191456

now we have:
16.65 is 5.1117681191456% of 325.719
