16600 is what percent of 134 - 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 134 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 134, so we can write it down as 100%=134.
4. We know, that x% equals 16600 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=16600.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=134
2) x%=16600
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%=134/16600
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 16600 is what percent of 134

100%/x%=134/16600
(100/x)*x=(134/16600)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0080722891566265*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0080722891566265) to get x
100/0.0080722891566265=x
12388.059701493=x
x=12388.059701493

now we have:
16600 is 12388.059701493% of 134
