What is 16.26 percent of 35.16 - 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 35.16 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 35.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35.16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.26% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.26%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35.16=100%
2) x=16.26%
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:
35.16/x=100%/16.26%
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 16.26% of 35.16

35.16/x=100/16.26
(35.16/x)*x=(100/16.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
35.16=6.150061500615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.150061500615) to get x
35.16/6.150061500615=x
5.717016=x
x=5.717016

now we have:
16.26% of 35.16=5.717016
