What is 0.1622 percent of 1600 - 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 1600 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 1600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.1622% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.1622%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1600=100%
2) x=0.1622%
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:
1600/x=100%/0.1622%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.1622% of 1600

1600/x=100/0.1622
(1600/x)*x=(100/0.1622)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1600=616.52281134402*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (616.52281134402) to get x
1600/616.52281134402=x
2.5952=x
x=2.5952

now we have:
0.1622% of 1600=2.5952
