What is 16.25 percent of 68.27 - 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 68.27 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 68.27 is 100%, so we can write it down as 68.27=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 68.27=100%
2) x=16.25%
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:
68.27/x=100%/16.25%
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 16.25% of 68.27

68.27/x=100/16.25
(68.27/x)*x=(100/16.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
68.27=6.1538461538462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1538461538462) to get x
68.27/6.1538461538462=x
11.093875=x
x=11.093875

now we have:
16.25% of 68.27=11.093875
