10.91 is what 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 100% equals 16, so we can write it down as 100%=16.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16
2) x%=10.91
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:
100%/x%=16/10.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.91 is what percent of 16

100%/x%=16/10.91
(100/x)*x=(16/10.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4665444546288*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4665444546288) to get x
100/1.4665444546288=x
68.1875=x
x=68.1875

now we have:
10.91 is 68.1875% of 16
