282.02 is what percent of 1692.17 - 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 1692.17 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 1692.17, so we can write it down as 100%=1692.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 282.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=282.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1692.17
2) x%=282.02
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%=1692.17/282.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 282.02 is what percent of 1692.17

100%/x%=1692.17/282.02
(100/x)*x=(1692.17/282.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.0001772923906*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0001772923906) to get x
100/6.0001772923906=x
16.666174202356=x
x=16.666174202356

now we have:
282.02 is 16.666174202356% of 1692.17
