What is 16.31 percent of 895 - 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 895 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 895 is 100%, so we can write it down as 895=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.31% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.31%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 895=100%
2) x=16.31%
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:
895/x=100%/16.31%
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 16.31% of 895

895/x=100/16.31
(895/x)*x=(100/16.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
895=6.131207847946*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.131207847946) to get x
895/6.131207847946=x
145.9745=x
x=145.9745

now we have:
16.31% of 895=145.9745
