2.36 is what percent of 16302 - 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 16302 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 16302, so we can write it down as 100%=16302.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16302
2) x%=2.36
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%=16302/2.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.36 is what percent of 16302

100%/x%=16302/2.36
(100/x)*x=(16302/2.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6907.6271186441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6907.6271186441) to get x
100/6907.6271186441=x
0.014476751318857=x
x=0.014476751318857

now we have:
2.36 is 0.014476751318857% of 16302
