What is 16.666 percent of 555 - 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 555 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 555 is 100%, so we can write it down as 555=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.666% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.666%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 555=100%
2) x=16.666%
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:
555/x=100%/16.666%
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 16.666% of 555

555/x=100/16.666
(555/x)*x=(100/16.666)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
555=6.0002400096004*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.0002400096004) to get x
555/6.0002400096004=x
92.4963=x
x=92.4963

now we have:
16.666% of 555=92.4963
