What is 2.01 percent of 1600 - 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 1600 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 1600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.01% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.01%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1600=100%
2) x=2.01%
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:
1600/x=100%/2.01%
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 2.01% of 1600

1600/x=100/2.01
(1600/x)*x=(100/2.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1600=49.751243781095*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.751243781095) to get x
1600/49.751243781095=x
32.16=x
x=32.16

now we have:
2.01% of 1600=32.16
