What is 16.64 percent of 142175 - 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 142175 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 142175 is 100%, so we can write it down as 142175=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.64% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.64%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 142175=100%
2) x=16.64%
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:
142175/x=100%/16.64%
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 16.64% of 142175

142175/x=100/16.64
(142175/x)*x=(100/16.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
142175=6.0096153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0096153846154) to get x
142175/6.0096153846154=x
23657.92=x
x=23657.92

now we have:
16.64% of 142175=23657.92
