What is 16.59 percent of 19.75 - 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 19.75 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 19.75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 19.75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 19.75=100%
2) x=16.59%
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:
19.75/x=100%/16.59%
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 16.59% of 19.75

19.75/x=100/16.59
(19.75/x)*x=(100/16.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
19.75=6.0277275467149*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0277275467149) to get x
19.75/6.0277275467149=x
3.276525=x
x=3.276525

now we have:
16.59% of 19.75=3.276525
