What is 25.96 percent of 16 - 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 16 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 16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16=100%
2) x=25.96%
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:
16/x=100%/25.96%
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 25.96% of 16

16/x=100/25.96
(16/x)*x=(100/25.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16=3.8520801232666*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8520801232666) to get x
16/3.8520801232666=x
4.1536=x
x=4.1536

now we have:
25.96% of 16=4.1536
