What is 512 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 512% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=512%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16=100%
2) x=512%
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%/512%
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 512% of 16

16/x=100/512
(16/x)*x=(100/512)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16=0.1953125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.1953125) to get x
16/0.1953125=x
81.92=x
x=81.92

now we have:
512% of 16=81.92
