What is 16.315 percent of 374.513 - 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 374.513 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 374.513 is 100%, so we can write it down as 374.513=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.315% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.315%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 374.513=100%
2) x=16.315%
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:
374.513/x=100%/16.315%
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 16.315% of 374.513

374.513/x=100/16.315
