What is 16.73 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 16.73% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.73%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1560=100%
2) x=16.73%
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%/16.73%
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 16.73% of 1560

1560/x=100/16.73
(1560/x)*x=(100/16.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1560=5.9772863120143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9772863120143) to get x
1560/5.9772863120143=x
260.988=x
x=260.988

now we have:
16.73% of 1560=260.988
