What is 12.36 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 16500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16500=100%
2) x=12.36%
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:
16500/x=100%/12.36%
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 12.36% of 16500

16500/x=100/12.36
(16500/x)*x=(100/12.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16500=8.0906148867314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0906148867314) to get x
16500/8.0906148867314=x
2039.4=x
x=2039.4

now we have:
12.36% of 16500=2039.4
