16.99 is what percent of 31032 - 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 31032 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 31032, so we can write it down as 100%=31032.
4. We know, that x% equals 16.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31032
2) x%=16.99
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%=31032/16.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16.99 is what percent of 31032

100%/x%=31032/16.99
(100/x)*x=(31032/16.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1826.4861683343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1826.4861683343) to get x
100/1826.4861683343=x
0.0547499355504=x
x=0.0547499355504

now we have:
