What is 16.89 percent of 155 - 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 155 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 155 is 100%, so we can write it down as 155=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.89% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.89%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 155=100%
2) x=16.89%
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:
155/x=100%/16.89%
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 16.89% of 155

155/x=100/16.89
(155/x)*x=(100/16.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
155=5.9206631142688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9206631142688) to get x
155/5.9206631142688=x
26.1795=x
x=26.1795

now we have:
16.89% of 155=26.1795
