16.93 is what percent of 69.99 - 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 69.99 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 69.99, so we can write it down as 100%=69.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69.99
2) x%=16.93
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%=69.99/16.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.93 is what percent of 69.99

100%/x%=69.99/16.93
(100/x)*x=(69.99/16.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1340815121087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1340815121087) to get x
100/4.1340815121087=x
24.189169881412=x
x=24.189169881412

now we have:
16.93 is 24.189169881412% of 69.99
