16.94 is what percent of 867.94 - 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 867.94 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 867.94, so we can write it down as 100%=867.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=867.94
2) x%=16.94
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%=867.94/16.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.94 is what percent of 867.94

100%/x%=867.94/16.94
(100/x)*x=(867.94/16.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=51.236127508855*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (51.236127508855) to get x
100/51.236127508855=x
1.9517478166694=x
x=1.9517478166694

now we have:
