What is 16.47 percent of 425 - 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 425 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 425 is 100%, so we can write it down as 425=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 425=100%
2) x=16.47%
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:
425/x=100%/16.47%
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 16.47% of 425

425/x=100/16.47
(425/x)*x=(100/16.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
425=6.0716454159077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0716454159077) to get x
425/6.0716454159077=x
69.9975=x
x=69.9975

now we have:
16.47% of 425=69.9975
