What is 16.21 percent of 730 - 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 730 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 730 is 100%, so we can write it down as 730=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 730=100%
2) x=16.21%
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:
730/x=100%/16.21%
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 16.21% of 730

730/x=100/16.21
(730/x)*x=(100/16.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
730=6.1690314620605*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1690314620605) to get x
730/6.1690314620605=x
118.333=x
x=118.333

now we have:
16.21% of 730=118.333
