7.17 is what percent of 16.13 - 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 16.13 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 16.13, so we can write it down as 100%=16.13.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.13
2) x%=7.17
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%=16.13/7.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.17 is what percent of 16.13

100%/x%=16.13/7.17
(100/x)*x=(16.13/7.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2496513249651*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2496513249651) to get x
100/2.2496513249651=x
44.451332920025=x
x=44.451332920025

now we have:
7.17 is 44.451332920025% of 16.13
