What is 16000 percent of 45.2 - 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 45.2 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 45.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45.2=100%
2) x=16000%
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:
45.2/x=100%/16000%
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 16000% of 45.2

45.2/x=100/16000
(45.2/x)*x=(100/16000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45.2=0.00625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00625) to get x
45.2/0.00625=x
7232=x
x=7232

now we have:
16000% of 45.2=7232
