What is 1600 percent of 102 - 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 102 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 102 is 100%, so we can write it down as 102=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1600% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1600%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 102=100%
2) x=1600%
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:
102/x=100%/1600%
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 1600% of 102

102/x=100/1600
(102/x)*x=(100/1600)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
102=0.0625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0625) to get x
102/0.0625=x
1632=x
x=1632

now we have:
1600% of 102=1632
