What is 16.15 percent of 16 - 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 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 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16=100%
2) x=16.15%
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:
16/x=100%/16.15%
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 16.15% of 16

16/x=100/16.15
(16/x)*x=(100/16.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16=6.1919504643963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1919504643963) to get x
16/6.1919504643963=x
2.584=x
x=2.584

now we have:
16.15% of 16=2.584
