16.69 is what percent of 1758 - 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 1758 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 1758, so we can write it down as 100%=1758.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1758
2) x%=16.69
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%=1758/16.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.69 is what percent of 1758

100%/x%=1758/16.69
(100/x)*x=(1758/16.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=105.33253445177*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (105.33253445177) to get x
100/105.33253445177=x
0.94937428896473=x
x=0.94937428896473

now we have:
16.69 is 0.94937428896473% of 1758
