What is 16.2 percent of 57100 - 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 57100 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 57100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 57100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 57100=100%
2) x=16.2%
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:
57100/x=100%/16.2%
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 16.2% of 57100

57100/x=100/16.2
(57100/x)*x=(100/16.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
57100=6.1728395061728*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1728395061728) to get x
57100/6.1728395061728=x
9250.2=x
x=9250.2

now we have:
16.2% of 57100=9250.2
