What is 16.29 percent of 15 - 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 15 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 15 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15=100%
2) x=16.29%
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:
15/x=100%/16.29%
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 16.29% of 15

15/x=100/16.29
(15/x)*x=(100/16.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15=6.1387354205034*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1387354205034) to get x
15/6.1387354205034=x
2.4435=x
x=2.4435

now we have:
16.29% of 15=2.4435
