What is 474 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 474% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=474%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16=100%
2) x=474%
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%/474%
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 474% of 16

16/x=100/474
(16/x)*x=(100/474)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16=0.21097046413502*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.21097046413502) to get x
16/0.21097046413502=x
75.84=x
x=75.84

now we have:
474% of 16=75.84
