What is 4500 percent of 1.6 - 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 1.6 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 1.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1.6=100%
2) x=4500%
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:
1.6/x=100%/4500%
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 4500% of 1.6

1.6/x=100/4500
(1.6/x)*x=(100/4500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1.6=0.022222222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.022222222222222) to get x
1.6/0.022222222222222=x
72=x
x=72

now we have:
4500% of 1.6=72
