What is 16.48 percent of 17.48 - 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 17.48 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 17.48 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.48=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.48=100%
2) x=16.48%
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:
17.48/x=100%/16.48%
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 16.48% of 17.48

17.48/x=100/16.48
(17.48/x)*x=(100/16.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.48=6.0679611650485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0679611650485) to get x
17.48/6.0679611650485=x
2.880704=x
x=2.880704

now we have:
16.48% of 17.48=2.880704
