What is 62.76 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 62.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16=100%
2) x=62.76%
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%/62.76%
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 62.76% of 16

16/x=100/62.76
(16/x)*x=(100/62.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16=1.5933715742511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5933715742511) to get x
16/1.5933715742511=x
10.0416=x
x=10.0416

now we have:
62.76% of 16=10.0416
