What is 16.737 percent of 5975 - 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 5975 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 5975 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5975=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.737% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.737%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5975=100%
2) x=16.737%
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:
5975/x=100%/16.737%
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 16.737% of 5975

5975/x=100/16.737
(5975/x)*x=(100/16.737)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5975=5.9747864013862*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9747864013862) to get x
5975/5.9747864013862=x
1000.03575=x
x=1000.03575

now we have:
16.737% of 5975=1000.03575
