What is 6.39 percent of 16.39 - 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 16.39 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 16.39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16.39=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.39% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.39%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16.39=100%
2) x=6.39%
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:
16.39/x=100%/6.39%
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 6.39% of 16.39

16.39/x=100/6.39
(16.39/x)*x=(100/6.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16.39=15.649452269171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.649452269171) to get x
16.39/15.649452269171=x
1.047321=x
x=1.047321

now we have:
6.39% of 16.39=1.047321
