What is 17.02 percent of 16000000 - 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 16000000 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 16000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.02% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.02%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16000000=100%
2) x=17.02%
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:
16000000/x=100%/17.02%
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 17.02% of 16000000

16000000/x=100/17.02
(16000000/x)*x=(100/17.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
16000000=5.8754406580494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8754406580494) to get x
16000000/5.8754406580494=x
2723200=x
x=2723200

now we have:
17.02% of 16000000=2723200
