16.71 is what percent of 247.03 - 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 247.03 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 247.03, so we can write it down as 100%=247.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=247.03
2) x%=16.71
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%=247.03/16.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.71 is what percent of 247.03

100%/x%=247.03/16.71
(100/x)*x=(247.03/16.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.783363255536*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.783363255536) to get x
100/14.783363255536=x
6.7643606039752=x
x=6.7643606039752

now we have:
16.71 is 6.7643606039752% of 247.03
