597.37 is what percent of 16.18 - 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 16.18 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 16.18, so we can write it down as 100%=16.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 597.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=597.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.18
2) x%=597.37
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%=16.18/597.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 597.37 is what percent of 16.18

100%/x%=16.18/597.37
(100/x)*x=(16.18/597.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.027085390963724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.027085390963724) to get x
100/0.027085390963724=x
3692.0271940667=x
x=3692.0271940667

now we have:
597.37 is 3692.0271940667% of 16.18
