What is 12.67 percent of 16.7 - 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 16.7 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 16.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16.7=100%
2) x=12.67%
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:
16.7/x=100%/12.67%
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 12.67% of 16.7

16.7/x=100/12.67
(16.7/x)*x=(100/12.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16.7=7.8926598263615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8926598263615) to get x
16.7/7.8926598263615=x
2.11589=x
x=2.11589

now we have:
12.67% of 16.7=2.11589
