What is 16.65 percent of 1560 - 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 1560 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 1560 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1560=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.65% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.65%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1560=100%
2) x=16.65%
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:
1560/x=100%/16.65%
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 16.65% of 1560

1560/x=100/16.65
(1560/x)*x=(100/16.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1560=6.006006006006*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.006006006006) to get x
1560/6.006006006006=x
259.74=x
x=259.74

now we have:
16.65% of 1560=259.74
