What is 16.72 percent of 3069.12 - 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 3069.12 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 3069.12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3069.12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3069.12=100%
2) x=16.72%
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:
3069.12/x=100%/16.72%
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 16.72% of 3069.12

3069.12/x=100/16.72
(3069.12/x)*x=(100/16.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3069.12=5.9808612440191*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9808612440191) to get x
3069.12/5.9808612440191=x
513.156864=x
x=513.156864

now we have:
16.72% of 3069.12=513.156864
