What is 16.12 percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9=100%
2) x=16.12%
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:
9/x=100%/16.12%
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 16.12% of 9

9/x=100/16.12
(9/x)*x=(100/16.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9=6.2034739454094*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.2034739454094) to get x
9/6.2034739454094=x
1.4508=x
x=1.4508

now we have:
16.12% of 9=1.4508
