648.43 is what percent of 16500 - 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 16500 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 16500, so we can write it down as 100%=16500.
4. We know, that x% equals 648.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=648.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16500
2) x%=648.43
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%=16500/648.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 648.43 is what percent of 16500

100%/x%=16500/648.43
(100/x)*x=(16500/648.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.446077448607*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.446077448607) to get x
100/25.446077448607=x
3.9298787878788=x
x=3.9298787878788

now we have:
648.43 is 3.9298787878788% of 16500
