What is 4.99 percent of 160 - 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 160 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 160 is 100%, so we can write it down as 160=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.99% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.99%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 160=100%
2) x=4.99%
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:
160/x=100%/4.99%
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 4.99% of 160

160/x=100/4.99
(160/x)*x=(100/4.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
160=20.040080160321*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.040080160321) to get x
160/20.040080160321=x
7.984=x
x=7.984

now we have:
4.99% of 160=7.984
