What is 16500 percent of 985 - 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 985 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 985 is 100%, so we can write it down as 985=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 985=100%
2) x=16500%
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:
985/x=100%/16500%
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 16500% of 985

985/x=100/16500
(985/x)*x=(100/16500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
985=0.0060606060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0060606060606061) to get x
985/0.0060606060606061=x
162525=x
x=162525

now we have:
16500% of 985=162525
