6.91 is what percent of 16.17 - 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 16.17 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 16.17, so we can write it down as 100%=16.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.17
2) x%=6.91
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%=16.17/6.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.91 is what percent of 16.17

100%/x%=16.17/6.91
(100/x)*x=(16.17/6.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3400868306802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3400868306802) to get x
100/2.3400868306802=x
42.733457019171=x
x=42.733457019171

now we have:
6.91 is 42.733457019171% of 16.17
