What is 1.506 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 1.506% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.506%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1600=100%
2) x=1.506%
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%/1.506%
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 1.506% of 1600

1600/x=100/1.506
(1600/x)*x=(100/1.506)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1600=66.401062416999*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.401062416999) to get x
1600/66.401062416999=x
24.096=x
x=24.096

now we have:
1.506% of 1600=24.096
