What is 16.14 percent of 253.5 - 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 253.5 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 253.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 253.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.14% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.14%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 253.5=100%
2) x=16.14%
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:
253.5/x=100%/16.14%
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 16.14% of 253.5

253.5/x=100/16.14
(253.5/x)*x=(100/16.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
253.5=6.1957868649318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1957868649318) to get x
253.5/6.1957868649318=x
40.9149=x
x=40.9149

now we have:
16.14% of 253.5=40.9149
