16.82 is what percent of 188.1 - 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 188.1 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 188.1, so we can write it down as 100%=188.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=188.1
2) x%=16.82
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%=188.1/16.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.82 is what percent of 188.1

100%/x%=188.1/16.82
(100/x)*x=(188.1/16.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.183115338882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.183115338882) to get x
100/11.183115338882=x
8.9420520999468=x
x=8.9420520999468

now we have:
16.82 is 8.9420520999468% of 188.1
