What is 10.15 percent of 167000 - 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 167000 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 167000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 167000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 167000=100%
2) x=10.15%
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:
167000/x=100%/10.15%
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 10.15% of 167000

167000/x=100/10.15
(167000/x)*x=(100/10.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
167000=9.8522167487685*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8522167487685) to get x
167000/9.8522167487685=x
16950.5=x
x=16950.5

now we have:
10.15% of 167000=16950.5
