What is 16.9 percent of 13100 - 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 13100 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 13100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13100=100%
2) x=16.9%
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:
13100/x=100%/16.9%
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 16.9% of 13100

13100/x=100/16.9
(13100/x)*x=(100/16.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13100=5.9171597633136*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9171597633136) to get x
13100/5.9171597633136=x
2213.9=x
x=2213.9

now we have:
16.9% of 13100=2213.9
