What is 1.6 percent of 13678.13 - 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 13678.13 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 13678.13 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13678.13=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13678.13=100%
2) x=1.6%
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:
13678.13/x=100%/1.6%
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 1.6% of 13678.13

13678.13/x=100/1.6
(13678.13/x)*x=(100/1.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13678.13=62.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (62.5) to get x
13678.13/62.5=x
218.85008=x
x=218.85008

now we have:
1.6% of 13678.13=218.85008
