What is 4.566 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 4.566% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.566%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16=100%
2) x=4.566%
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%/4.566%
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 4.566% of 16

16/x=100/4.566
(16/x)*x=(100/4.566)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16=21.901007446343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.901007446343) to get x
16/21.901007446343=x
0.73056=x
x=0.73056

now we have:
4.566% of 16=0.73056
