28 is what percent of 16810 - 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 16810 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 16810, so we can write it down as 100%=16810.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16810
2) x%=28
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%=16810/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 16810

100%/x%=16810/28
(100/x)*x=(16810/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=600.35714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (600.35714285714) to get x
100/600.35714285714=x
0.16656751933373=x
x=0.16656751933373

now we have:
28 is 0.16656751933373% of 16810
