What is 16.67 percent of 244 - 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 244 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 244 is 100%, so we can write it down as 244=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 244=100%
2) x=16.67%
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:
244/x=100%/16.67%
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 16.67% of 244

244/x=100/16.67
(244/x)*x=(100/16.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
244=5.998800239952*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.998800239952) to get x
244/5.998800239952=x
40.6748=x
x=40.6748

now we have:
16.67% of 244=40.6748
